⏱ 35 mins 🍽 ['4', '4 chicken breast halves'] 🌶 american 🏷 Main course

This American dinner features chicken breasts seasoned with a spicy rub and pan-fried until perfectly cooked. They are then topped with a fresh, chunky salsa made from diced avocado, minced red onion, and a bright splash of lime juice. The dish comes together in just 35 minutes for a simple yet impressive main course. The creamy avocado sauce provides a cool contrast to the warm, spiced chicken.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red onion, minced
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 avocado, diced

Method

In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and the cayenne pepper, then rub this mixture all over the chicken breast halves.
Place a large skillet over the heat, add the olive oil, and cook the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes on each side until fully cooked, with an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Mix the minced red onion, diced avocado, and lime juice together in a medium bowl, season with salt and pepper, and spoon this mixture over the cooked chicken to serve.
