Begin by marinating the chicken breasts in a mixture of orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat while the chicken marinates. Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the spicy avocado-corn salsa by combining diced avocado, canned corn (drained), chopped red onion, diced jalapeño, lime juice, and chopped cilantro in a bowl.
Season the salsa with salt and pepper to taste. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it.
Serve the sliced chicken on a bed of mixed greens, topped with the spicy avocado-corn salsa for a colorful presentation.
Garnish with lime wedges and additional cilantro if desired.
