- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 whole (juiced and zested) Key limes
- 1 small (diced) Ripe avocado
- 1 medium (diced) Tomato
- 0.25 cup (finely chopped) Red onion

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Brush the chicken breasts with the marinade, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
Step 4
Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
Step 5
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the key lime salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado, tomato, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, key lime juice, and zest.
Step 6
Season the salsa with salt and black pepper to taste, then gently toss to mix the ingredients without mashing the avocado.
Step 7
To serve, place a grilled chicken breast on a plate and top with a generous spoonful of key lime salsa.
Step 8
Garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges if desired, and enjoy!
