Equipment

  • Grill or grill pan
  • Tongs
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Small bowl for seasoning

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 ripe California avocados sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese optional
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken: Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then brush with olive oil. Season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the grill and set aside to rest for a few minutes.
  • Assemble the Dish: While the chicken rests, slice the California avocados and drizzle with lime juice to prevent browning.
  • Top the Chicken: Once the chicken is rested, place slices of avocado on top of each chicken breast. If desired, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top and return to the grill for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
  • Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
