  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 small broccoli crown, chopped into florets
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tsp olive oil (for veggies)
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Rub mixture onto chicken breasts.
  3. Grill chicken 6–7 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest 5 minutes.
  4. While chicken cooks, toss broccoli and tomatoes with 1 tsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or roast at 425°F for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway.
  5. Mix lime juice and chopped cilantro in a small bowl for the dressing.
  6. Serve chicken topped with avocado slices and a drizzle of lime-cilantro dressing, alongside grilled vegetables.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate chicken in the spice-oil mixture for 30 minutes before grilling.
  • No grill? Use a grill pan or roast in oven at 425°F for 18–20 minutes.
  • Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the dressing for heat.
