Instructions

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.

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.

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 salsa by combining diced avocado, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, lime juice, and diced jalapeño in a bowl.

Season the salsa with salt to taste. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it.

Serve the sliced chicken topped with the spicy avocado salsa and a sprinkle of extra cilantro for garnish.

Enjoy your flavorful and budget-friendly meal!
