Grilled Chicken with Heirloom Tomato and Avocado Salsa image

A lite and refreshing summer dish to use up some of those garden tomatoes. Quick and tasty dish. I used heirloom because that is what we grow but any type of tomato could be used.

Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon ground cumin
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon chili powder
2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 medium ripe avocado, diced
1 medium heirloom tomato, seeded and diced
½ small red onion, diced
1 teaspoon lime juice, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • Remove chicken from the grill and drizzle with remaining olive oil. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix avocado, tomato, and red onion for salsa together in a small bowl. Add lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
  • Slice chicken and top with salsa.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some additional seasonings to the chicken and salsa. Otherwise, it was a good recipe. ?‍♂️

I'm not a huge fan of grilled chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the salsa was the perfect topping. I will definitely be making this dish again. ?
