INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

0.5 whole avocado

0.5 cup cherry tomatoes

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp lime juice

2 tbsp red onion

1 tbsp fresh cilantro

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp smoked paprika

PREPARATION

• 1

  Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

• 2

  Heat half of the olive oil in a medium stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 3

  Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the exterior is golden brown.

• 4

  While the chicken cooks, prepare the salsa by dicing the avocado, quartering the cherry tomatoes, and finely mincing the red onion.

• 5

  In a small bowl, combine the avocado, tomatoes, onion, lime juice, fresh cilantro, and the remaining olive oil, tossing gently to avoid mashing the avocado.

• 6

  Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 3 minutes to lock in the juices.

• 7

  Slice the chicken against the grain and top generously with the fresh avocado salsa before serving.
