Grilled chicken with avocado
Grilled chicken with avocado is a delicious and healthy combination. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions:
- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill.
- Grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and has nice grill marks.
- Prepare the Avocado:
- While the chicken is grilling, slice the avocado. You can also season the avocado slices with a bit of lime juice and salt if desired.
- Serve:
- Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the grilled chicken with avocado slices on the side.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
Enjoy your grilled chicken with avocado!
