Grilled Chicken with Heirloom Tomato and Avocado Salsa

Sharing is caring!

A lite and refreshing summer dish to use up some of those garden tomatoes. Quick and tasty dish. I used heirloom because that is what we grow but any type of tomato could be used.

Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 medium heirloom tomato, seeded and diced
  • ½ small red onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Combine onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and chili powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle chicken with spice mixture and rub until evenly coated. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Arrange chicken on the preheated grill and grill for 8 minutes. Turn and grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Remove chicken from the grill and drizzle with remaining olive oil. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix avocado, tomato, and red onion for salsa together in a small bowl. Add lime juice and season with salt and pepper.

Slice chicken and top with salsa.
