Ingredients notes

This Chili Lime Chicken with Avocado Feta Salsa recipe is incredibly versatile and easy to mix and match based on what you have on hand, and by personal preference.

• Chicken - For this recipe I used boneless skinless chicken breast. You can also use chicken things or even a full roaster chicken
• Feta - If you are not a fan of feta cheese, you can use any cheese you prefer. Some of my favorites for this recipe are cotija, goat cheese, Manchego, and sharp extra white cheddar.
• Cilantro - If you are team "no cilantro", you can substitute parsley or even chives (Check out this Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice Recipe)
• Limes - While lime juice definitely goes best with this recipe, you could also use lemon juice, fresh orange juice, or even red wine vinegar, or a splash of apple cider vinegar
• Red Onion - If raw red onion is too pungent for you, you can always substitute shallots, green onions, or even sweet white onion.

Instructions

For the Avocado Feta Salsa

1. 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:

1. Pre-heat your barbecue or on the stove top, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. In a 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.
3. Toss the chicken breasts in the marinade until evenly coated. (If time allows, let the chicken marinate in the sauce for a few hours)
4. 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!
