Summer is here, and that means grilling season!

One afternoon, while I was hiking in the Adirondacks (a friend told me about their fun hiking experience there, and I just had to go!), I was thinking about how I could make a simple, yet flavorful, grilled chicken dish. The answer? A vibrant avocado-lime dressing that's both creamy and tangy. Its pretty easy to make this and it also tastes wonderful, you should try it!

What makes this recipe so great is its versatility. You can serve this chicken with a side of roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or even on top of cauliflower rice. The avocado-lime dressing is not only delicious but also packed with healthy fats and nutrients. Its a win-win! Trust me, once you try this, you'll find yourself making it again and again. Sometimes I grill extra chicken just so I can have leftovers for lunch the next day. It's that good.

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. First, prepare the chicken by trimming any excess fat. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This will help them get a nice sear on the grill. Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Don't be shy with the seasoning – it's what gives the chicken its flavor!
  2. Next, let's make the avocado-lime dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed – maybe you like it a little more tangy with extra lime, or a bit more garlicky.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean to prevent sticking. Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy. Nobody wants undercooked chicken!
  4. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
  5. Slice the grilled chicken breasts and drizzle generously with the avocado-lime dressing. Garnish with extra cilantro and a wedge of lime, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy! Pair with your favorite sides – roasted sweet potatoes and a green salad are always a great choice.

📝 Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, and garlic for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the avocado-lime dressing for a little heat.
