Ingredients:
- 4 - 6 oz. boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 1 tablespoons - lime zest
- 1/3 cups - fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cups - olive oil plus more for brushing grill
- 1 1/2 teaspoons - honey
- 1/3 cups - chopped cilantro plus more for serving
- 3 cloves - garlic minced
- - salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 - medium avocados ripe, but semi-firm, diced
- 2 - medium Roma tomatoes chopped
- 1/2 cups - chopped red onion rinsed under cool water to remove harsh bite
- 1 cloves - garlic minced
- 1 tablespoons - fresh lime juice
Directions:
Place chicken on a cutting board, cover with a sheet of plastic wrap and pound thicker parts of chicken to an even thickness. Transfer chicken to a gallon size resealable plastic bag.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, honey, cilantro, 3 cloves minced garlic and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour marinade mixture over chicken in bag. Seal bag while pressing air out, then rub marinade over chicken. Allow to rest in refrigerator 2 to 4 hours (rotating bag to opposite side and moving chicken around halfway through, if possible, to ensure evenly marinating).
Preheat a grill over medium-high heat (about 425 to 450 degrees F). Brush grill grates lightly with oil then grill chicken until center registers 160 to 165 degrees on an instant read thermometer, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and let rest 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, toss together avocado, tomato, onion, garlic and lime juice and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Spoon a generous amount over chicken and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve warm.
