Instructions
Creating the Grilled Chicken & Avocado Stack is easy if you follow these steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
3. Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and nicely charred. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
4. Slice the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then slice it into strips.
5. Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash lightly with a fork, mixing in a bit of lime juice, salt, and pepper.
6. Assemble the Stack: On a plate, start layering the grilled chicken, a generous scoop of mashed avocado, sliced bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Repeat as necessary to build your stack.
7. Garnish: Top off your stack with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy fresh for the best taste.
