Description

This Fiesta Lime Chicken with Avocado is a quick and flavorful 20-minute dinner, perfect for busy weeknights. Juicy chicken is cooked in a zesty lime marinade and topped with cool, creamy avocado for a perfect balance of flavors and textures.


Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

– 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

– 2 tbsp olive oil

– 1 tsp chili powder

– 1 tsp cumin

– 1/2 tsp garlic powder

– 1/2 tsp salt

– 1/4 tsp black pepper

– 2 avocados, diced


Instructions

1. 1. In a shallow dish, combine the lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and turn to coat evenly. Cover and marinate for 15-30 minutes.

2. 2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

3. 3. Transfer the chicken to a plate and top with the diced avocado. Serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, serve the Fiesta Lime Chicken with Avocado with rice, salsa, and additional lime wedges. The avocado topping adds a delicious creamy element to balance the tangy lime marinade.
