Steps

1. 1

   Begin by preheating a griddle pan or cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Begin by seasoning the chicken with salt and pepper. Mix the rest of the spices in a small bowl and massage them onto the chicken thoroughly. Grease the griddle or skillet with one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Grill the chicken for 11 to 12 minutes, flipping it once during cooking. Once done, take it off the heat and allow it to cool slightly until manageable; then cut each piece diagonally into four slices.

3. 3

   Begin by halving the avocados, removing the pit, and peeling them. Squeeze lime or lemon juice over the avocados. Proceed to slice each avocado half into 4 equal pieces.
