Grilled chicken and avocado salsa is the perfect healthy and delicious summer dish. The chicken is marinated in ingredients such as lime juice, olive oil, and cilantro. The chicken is then placed onto the grill and cooked to perfection. The chicken is then topped with an avocado salsa which uses avocadoes, cilantro and red onion. A good tip for this recipe is to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about ½ inch thick.

This recipe really looks delish! I’m planning on trying it after grocery shopping for the ingredients. I don’t have a grill so I’ll have to make due with my air fryer oven.
I love that it is enough for a few servings, since I’m single, I will get a few servings from it.
I was just wondering if it could be frozen after it is prepared?
Thank you for this recipe and your time!
