Title: Grilled Chicken with Avocado and Tomato
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 ripe avocado, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, prepare the chicken by patting it dry with a paper towel.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts to coat evenly.
3. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the avocado and tomato salad. In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado and halved cherry tomatoes. Add a pinch of salt and toss gently to combine.
5. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This will help the juices redistribute and keep the chicken moist.
6. Slice the grilled chicken and serve it alongside the avocado and tomato salad. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for an extra burst of flavor.
7. Enjoy your delicious and healthy grilled chicken with avocado and tomato, perfect for a diabetic-friendly lunch!
