In a bowl, combine the juice of 2 limes, 1 orange, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.
Whisk the ingredients together until well blended. Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the chicken.
Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the avocado salsa by dicing 2 ripe avocados, 1 small red onion, and 1 jalapeño.
In a bowl, combine the diced ingredients with the juice of 1 lime, 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro, and salt to taste.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the grilled chicken topped with the avocado salsa and garnish with lime wedges and additional cilantro for a beautiful presentation.
