Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 pieces plum tomatoes, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Step 3
Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1/4-inch thick medallions.
Step 4
While the chicken cooks, prepare the avocado mixture by mashing the avocados in a small bowl with a fork. Mix in lime juice and a pinch of salt to taste, creating a smooth but slightly chunky texture.
Step 5
Thinly slice the red onion and plum tomatoes. Set aside for layering.
Step 6
To assemble, place a few spinach leaves on a plate as the base. Add a slice of grilled chicken, followed by a dollop of the mashed avocado, a slice of tomato, some red onion, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Repeat the layers once more.
Step 7
Drizzle the assembled Napoleons with balsamic glaze, if desired, for added flavor and presentation.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Chicken and Avocado Napoleons!
