Ingredients
Scale
1 lb boneless chicken breasts or thighs, diced
3 tbsp honey
Juice + zest of 2 limes
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup corn (grilled or canned)
2 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
Juice of 1/2 lime
Salt to taste
3 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
Lime wedges, for serving
Extra chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add diced chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes). Let rest and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine corn, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well, then add cooked chicken and stir to combine.
Halve the avocados and remove pits. Scoop out about a tablespoon from each half to make space for filling.
Generously fill each avocado half with the honey lime chicken and corn salsa mixture. Garnish with extra cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
Use grilled corn for extra smoky flavor.
Substitute rotisserie chicken for a quicker meal.
Best served immediately to prevent avocado browning.
Adjust seasoning to taste and add diced jalapeño for heat.
