Preparation

Step 1

1. Place the chicken breasts in a flat dish with sides just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Add the lime juice, oil, and kosher salt, and flip the chicken breasts several times to coat them well. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. (Start the rice, if you are serving it.)

2. In a medium serving bowl, gently combine the avocados, tomatoes, onions and salt. Add 1 Tbsp. of cilantro and/or 1 tsp. of lime juice for additional flavor (optional).

3. Grill the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes per side, until they start to brown on the outside and are no longer pink in the middle of the thickest part of the breast. Remove them from the heat and serve them whole or sliced into strips, topped with the avocado salsa.
