Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 medium ripe avocado, diced
• 1 medium heirloom tomato, seeded and diced
• 1 teaspoon lime juice, or to taste
• 0.75 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.75 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 small red onion, diced
• 1.5 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Combine onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and chili powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle chicken with spice mixture and rub until evenly coated. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Step 3

Arrange chicken on the preheated grill and grill for 8 minutes. Turn and grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 4

Remove chicken from the grill and drizzle with remaining olive oil. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, mix avocado, tomato, and red onion for salsa together in a small bowl. Add lime juice and season with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Slice chicken and top with salsa.
