Preparation
Grill the chicken & lime
Heat the BBQ on high, making sure to oil the grill first. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel and rub with a drizzle of oil; season with the spices and S&P. Halve 1 lime (double for 4 portions) and drizzle with oil. Add the chicken* to the BBQ and grill, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. In the last 3 min., add the halved lime, cut-sides down, and grill until beginning to brown. Transfer to a cutting board.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, juice the remaining lime. In a large bowl, combine the onions, lime juice and S&P. Peel and pit the mango; small-dice. Peel and small-dice the chayotes.
Make the salsa
To the bowl of onions, add the mango, chayotes, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the avocado purée between your plates and spread out in a circular motion. Top with the chicken (slice beforehand if desired). Spoon the salsa over the chicken. Squeeze the juice from the grilled lime over. Bon appétit!
