Fiesta Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa is a zesty, flavorful dish featuring lime-marinated grilled chicken topped with a fresh avocado-tomato salsa. It’s quick, healthy, and perfect for warm-weather meals or any time you’re craving something fresh and bold.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
  • Fiesta Lime Rub:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Avocado Salsa:
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Mix all Fiesta Lime Rub ingredients in a bowl. Rub over chicken breasts evenly and marinate for 20 minutes (up to 2 hours) in the fridge.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the avocado salsa: gently mix avocado, tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Grill chicken over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side or until cooked through and grill-marked.
  4. Let chicken rest for a few minutes, then top with a generous spoonful of avocado salsa before serving.

Notes

  • Add diced mango or pineapple to the salsa for a tropical twist.
  • Cook in a skillet or bake at 400°F for 20–25 minutes if you don’t have a grill.
  • Add jalapeño or hot sauce for heat.
  • Serve over rice, quinoa, or in lettuce wraps for low-carb.
  • Top with cotija or feta cheese for extra flavor.
