Tips:
- Choose juicy chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are plump and have a pinkish hue. Avoid chicken breasts that are dry or have a yellow tinge.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade for the chicken breasts is key to infusing them with flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains a good balance of spices, herbs, and oil. Some good options include a citrus-herb marinade, a yogurt-based marinade, or a chili-lime marinade.
- Cook the chicken breasts over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the chicken breasts and lock in the juices. Once the chicken breasts are seared, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook until they are cooked through.
- Make the tomato-avocado salsa: The tomato-avocado salsa is a refreshing and flavorful topping for the chicken breasts. To make the salsa, simply combine diced tomatoes, avocados, cilantro, onion, and jalapeno pepper in a bowl. Season the salsa with salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste.
Conclusion:
