There is something so special about firing up the grill on a warm summer evening. This recipe brings together smoky, taco seasoned chicken and a bright, cooling salsa that makes every bite taste like sunshine. It is a family favorite that never fails to get everyone excited for dinner.

My best tip for this dish is to let your chicken marinate for at least thirty minutes if you have the time. This helps the spices soak deep into the meat, ensuring that every piece stays juicy and flavorful while it cooks over the flames.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup frozen or canned corn, drained
  • 1 large ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rub the chicken breasts evenly with the olive oil and taco seasoning.

  2. 2

    Preheat your grill to medium high heat.

  3. 3

    Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about six to seven minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

  4. 4

    While the chicken grills, combine the corn, avocado, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a medium bowl.

  5. 5

    Stir the salsa gently so you do not mash the avocado too much, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Serve the grilled chicken warm, topped with a generous scoop of the fresh avocado corn salsa.

💡 Tips

Store any leftover chicken and salsa in separate airtight containers in the fridge to keep the avocado from browning. You can serve this over a bed of greens for a lighter meal or inside warm tortillas for tasty tacos.
