Grilled Chili-Lime Chicken with Strawberry Avocado Salsa


INGREDIENTS

Chili-Lime Marinade:
2 tablespoons lime juice (from 1-2 limes)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (see note above)
Strawberry Avocado Salsa:
6-8 ounces strawberries, hulled and diced
1/2 avocado, pitted, peeled and diced
2 green onions, chopped
1-2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon lime juice (about 1 lime)
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS


1-For the marinade, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, garlic, chili powder and salt. Place the chicken in a gallon-size ziploc bag or shallow dish and pour in the marinade. Turn the chicken to coat in the mixture. Refrigerate for 4-8 hours, turning once or twice.
2-Preheat a grill to medium heat and cook the chicken 6-7 minutes per side, more or less depending on the thickness of the chicken (until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F at the thickest part of the chicken). Remove the chicken from the grill and tent with foil for 5 minutes or so while whipping up the salsa.
3-For the salsa, toss all the ingredients together in a bowl; don't forget the salt and pepper. Serve with the warm grilled chicken.
