Ingredients
  

  • 24 oz Chicken breast Boneless, skinless
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil For marinade
  • 3 tbsp Lime juice Divided use (2 tbsp for marinade, 1 tbsp for salsa)
  • 1 tbsp Chili powder Mild or medium
  • 1.5 tsp Salt Divided use (1 tsp for chicken, 0.5 tsp for salsa)
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper Freshly ground
  • 1 cup Corn kernels Fresh or thawed from frozen
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes Halved
  • 1 large Avocado Pitted and diced
  • 0.25 cup Red onion Finely diced
  • 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro Chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, chili powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly and let sit for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated breasts on the grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • While the meat rests, prepare the salsa. In a medium bowl, gently mix the corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, finely diced red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro.
  • Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of lime juice and sprinkle the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt over the salsa mixture. Toss gently to combine.
  • Top the rested grilled breasts generously with the fresh avocado corn salsa and serve immediately.
