Chipotle Chicken with Avocado Salsa

June 15, 2015 By Shannah Coe 5 Comments

Mondays during the summertime are always a little tougher. We spend a ton of time outdoors enjoying the pool or just hanging with friends so it is always a little harder to get back into the grind of the office. Of course, it doesn’t help when I also have wine slushies around the house either. So, in addition to resetting myself back into work mode, I also try to reset my body back in better eating mode. In our house, we do paleo meals Monday through Friday and then allow ourselves to indulge on the weekends. To me, it really is the best of both worlds. I don’t have to give up my cocktails and nachos, but I still give my body really good, real food for most of the week. This week, chipotle chicken with avocado salsa is on my menu.

The great thing about this recipe is that it is so easy. You can grill it or cook it inside depending on your mood. Then, you just toss together a quick avocado salsa for the perfect finishing touch. The whole thing is ready in under 30 minutes so it is perfect for a busy weeknight!

Chipotle Chicken with Avocado Salsa Ingredients:

4 6oz chicken breasts
1 1/2 tsp cumin
3/4 tsp chipotle chili powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
3 tsp avocado oil
Salsa:
1 avocado, cubed
1/2 cup fresh pineapple, diced
1/2 cup diced red onion
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
3 Tbsp lime juice
1 Tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
1 tsp salt

Let’s Make It:

1) In a small bowl, combine cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and avocado oil. Stir to mix. Spread onto both sides of chicken breast. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

2) Combine all salsa ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. 

3) Preheat grill over medium heat. Place chicken on grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until done. Serve with avocado salsa.

This chicken is the perfect combination of smoky chipotle flavors and creamy avocado with a hint of lime. It screams summer to me. If you are doing Whole30, this would be an awesome recipe for lunch or dinner. Or, make a little extra chicken and you can toss it in a salad the next day.

    I’m a sucker for grilled chicken. This looks fabulous and I LOVE chipotles and use them so often. I can’t get enough of their smoky flavor. YUM!
