Making Grilled California Avocado Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
5. Add Avocado: In the last few minutes of grilling, place the avocado slices on the grill for 1-2 minutes until slightly charred.
6. Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken and avocado from the grill. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
7. Garnish: Arrange the grilled chicken on a serving platter, top with grilled avocado slices, and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
