Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large grapefruit
• 1 large avocado
• 0.25 cup red onion
• 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.

Step 3

Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Step 4

Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 5

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the grapefruit avocado salsa. Start by peeling and segmenting the grapefruit, removing any seeds, and cutting the segments into small chunks.

Step 6

Dice the avocado and add it to a medium-sized mixing bowl along with the grapefruit segments.

Step 7

Finely chop the red onion and cilantro, then add them to the bowl with the grapefruit and avocado.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey. Drizzle the mixture over the salsa ingredients and gently toss to combine.

Step 9

Serve the grilled chicken topped with the grapefruit avocado salsa. Enjoy immediately for best flavor.
