Ingredients 

  • 1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 2 Tbsps olive oil, or avocado oil, divided
  • 2 Tbsps fresh lime juice
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste about 1/4 teaspoon each

For the peach salsa:

  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 2 cups chopped cherry tomatoes
  • 2 large ripe peaches, seeded and diced
  • 3 green onions, green parts only, sliced
  • a big handful of fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and diced very small
  • 1 fresh garlic clove, minced
  • juice AND the zest of 1 large lime

Instructions 

  • Place chicken in a large ziploc bag, or sealable fridge container with garlic powder, chili powder, 1 Tbsp oil, fresh lime juice, sea salt and pepper. Seal the bag, or lid and gently toss or shake to combine and coat well.
  • Marinate your chicken, in the refrigerator, for at least 30 minutes, or if time allows, overnight.
  • In a large bowl, gently combine all peach salsa ingredients, and season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
  • Keep refrigerated until ready to serve (best eaten within a few hours of preparing)
  • Heat an outdoor grill or a stovetop grill pan over medium high heat. Rub or brush your grill with remaining oil.
  • Grill the marinated chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
  • Serve your grilled chicken with peach salsa as shown and enjoy!
