This chili lime chicken with avocado feta salsa is the perfect fresh and light meal for year round. Looking to add a bit of variety to your low carb Taco Tuesday routine? Then this is the dish for you. The chicken is tender and juicy, while being perfectly balanced with spices and citrus. The avocado feta salsa is the perfect compliment to the spice of the chicken.
If you are looking for a low carb chicken recipe that will taste like you spend hours on it, but is actually incredibly easy to prepare, look no further. This chili lime chicken with avocado feta salsa is sure to become a family favorite.
To make this a dairy free keto recipe, simply omit the feta cheese. The flavors of the salsa will still shine without it.

Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 total)
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon cumin (I use this brand of organic seasoning)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Avocado Feta Salsa
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and cubed
- 1 roma tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped artichoke hearts
- 1/4 cup capers
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
- juice of 1/2 lime
- sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
For the Avocado Feta Salsa
- In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and lightly toss until well combined. If time allows, refrigerate the salsa for at least one hour before serving. Doing this will allow all of the vibrant flavors in this salsa to really come together.
For the Chicken:
- Pre-heat your barbecue or on the stove top, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- In large bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and cilantro, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk to thoroughly mix.
- Toss the chicken breasts in the marinade until evenly coated. (If time allows, let the chicken marinate in the sauce for a few hours)
- Place the chicken breasts on the pre-heated grill, pour over any marinade that is left in the bowl. Grill the chicken until it is cooked all the way through or if you are using a thermometer, until it has an internal temperature of 165°F. Top with Avocado-Feta Salsa, and enjoy!

November 13, 2018 at 11:18 amMy household isnt low carb, but this recipe looked so good I had to try it. It’s now one of my go to meals.
We like to roll the chicken and salsa up in a tortilla and eat them that way. Delicious!!

December 23, 2018 at 2:27 pmI’m not a fan of avocados themselves but I do like the flavor it adds to salsas. Could I puree the salsa ingredients together or do you think that would ruin it?
