Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts and coat evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 1 large diced ripe avocado, 1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes, 1/4 small finely diced red onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, and 1 tsp lime zest. Gently toss to combine.
  4. Step 4: Slice grilled chicken and top each portion with generous spoonfuls of the avocado salsa. Serve immediately.
