Begin by marinating the chicken breasts in a mixture of 1/4 cup olive oil, the juice of 2 limes, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper for at least 30 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the spicy avocado salsa by dicing 2 ripe avocados and mixing them with 1 diced jalapeño, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, the juice of 1 lime, and a pinch of salt.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced chicken on a platter, topped with the spicy avocado salsa and garnished with lime wedges and additional cilantro if desired.
