Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Main protein source
- 1/4 cup Lime juice Adds zesty brightness
- 1 piece Avocado Provides creaminess and healthy fats
- 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro Enhances flavor
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder Adds a hint of spice
- to taste Salt and pepper Simple seasonings
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil For cooking
Instructions
Preparation
- Marinate the chicken by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a bowl.
- Add the lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
- While marinating, dice the avocado and chop the cilantro.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil.
Cooking
- Add the marinated chicken breasts to the hot skillet. Cook for about 7–8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- On a serving plate, arrange the sliced chicken and top with diced avocado and chopped cilantro. Optionally, drizzle more lime juice on top.
Serving
- Serve the Lime Chicken Party warm, with extra lime wedges for those who want a citrus kick.
Notes
For a creamier texture, mix in some Greek yogurt with the avocado. Use an air fryer for a crispy exterior, cooking at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes.
