• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with half the salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove from the pan and let rest.

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add ground cumin and stir for another 20 seconds to toast the spice lightly.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, honey, and 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro to make the dressing.

Step 7

Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and carefully scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice each avocado half into thin strips.

Step 8

To assemble, slice the chicken breasts into thin slices and arrange them on a serving plate.

Step 9

Fan the avocado slices around the chicken, creating an elegant presentation.

Step 10

Drizzle the lime dressing over the chicken and avocado.
