Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• Juice of 2 fresh limes

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (or parsley as a substitute)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 2 ripe avocados, sliced

• Lime wedges, for serving

• Extra cilantro for garnish

Directions

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

2. Prepare the Grill or Oven: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F/190°C) or set your oven to broil mode. If using an oven safe dish, lightly grease it.

3. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Grill each breast for about 6–8 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Alternatively, bake in the oven for about 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

4. Slice and Serve: Allow the cooked chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips. Serve the sliced chicken alongside avocado wedges. Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
