Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup lime juice Freshly squeezed is best.
  • 1 piece avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil For cooking.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix together the lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the chicken breasts in the lime mixture for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Cook the marinated chicken in the skillet until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes on each side.
  3. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and top with diced avocado and fresh cilantro.
Serving
  1. Serve warm, possibly with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

For the best flavor, marinate the chicken longer than 30 minutes, and feel free to add herbs or jalapeños to the marinade for variation. Rest the chicken after cooking to keep it moist.
