Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts
  • 2 pieces ripe California avocados, halved and pitted Make sure your avocados are perfectly ripe for the best creaminess!
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 piece Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill: Heat the grill to medium-high, ensuring it’s hot enough to create beautiful grill marks on the chicken.
  2. Prep the chicken: In a bowl, drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper generously. Rub the spices into the chicken to ensure that every bite is packed with flavor.
Grilling
  1. Grill the chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked (165°F internal temperature).
  2. Prepare the avocados: While the chicken grills, prepare the avocados. Brush the flesh with a bit of olive oil and season lightly with salt.
  3. Grill the avocados: After the chicken is cooked, place the avocado halves cut-side down on the grill for about 2-3 minutes, until you have nice grill marks.
  4. Serve: Once everything is grilled to perfection, squeeze fresh lime juice over both the chicken and avocado. Garnish with fresh cilantro, and voilà! Your Grilled California Avocado Chicken is ready to be enjoyed.

Notes

If you find yourself with leftovers, store the chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Avocados should be stored separately to maintain their creamy texture. The chicken can be reheated by placing it in a microwave or a skillet over low heat until warmed through. For longer storage, the grilled chicken freezes beautifully for up to three months.
