Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder

- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, and all spices. Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and nicely charred.
- In a separate bowl, combine all salsa ingredients and gently toss.
- Let grilled chicken rest for 5 minutes, then top generously with avocado salsa.
