Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 lime, juiced

For the Creamy Green Sauce:

1 cup fresh cilantro leaves

1 jalapeño, seeds removed (adjust for spice)

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 avocado, pitted and peeled

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 garlic clove, minced

Salt to taste

Instructions
 

In a bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and lime juice to create a marinade.

    Rub the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Let it marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.

      Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

        While the chicken is grilling, prepare the creamy green sauce. In a food processor, combine cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, avocado, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting salt to taste if necessary.

          Serve the sliced chicken topped with a generous amount of creamy green sauce.
