Instructions

  1. Combine spices in a small bowl. Add lime juice, olive oil and spice mixture to a large bowl or large zip lock bag. Add chicken breasts and marinate for 1-4 hours (or longer).

  2. Heat grill to medium heat. Grill chicken, turning once, until browned and cooked through (170 degrees), about 10-20 minutes depending on the thickness of your chicken.

  3. Top each chicken breast with a few avocado slices and a slice of pepper jack cheese (or your cheese of choice). Turn grill down to low, close lid and let cheese melt, ~2 minutes.

NOTES

*Chicken must be cooked to an internal temperature of 170 degrees for boneless products and 180 degrees for bone in chicken products.
