Ingredients

1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon ground cumin
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon chili powder
2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 medium ripe avocado, diced
1 medium heirloom tomato, seeded and diced
½ small red onion, diced
1 teaspoon lime juice, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Combine onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and chili powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle chicken with spice mixture and rub until evenly coated. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Arrange chicken on the preheated grill and grill for 8 minutes. Turn and grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Remove chicken from the grill and drizzle with remaining olive oil. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix avocado, tomato, and red onion for salsa together in a small bowl. Add lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
Slice chicken and top with salsa.
