Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 whole avocado large, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil chopped
  • 1 tbsp balsamic glaze

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, tossing to coat evenly. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
  • Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
  • During the last 2 minutes of grilling, layer the sliced mozzarella and avocado on top of each breast. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese slightly.
  • Remove from the heat. Top with halved cherry tomatoes and fresh basil, then drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
