2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a marinade. Coat the chicken in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Allow it to rest before slicing.
Grill asparagus for about 5-7 minutes until tender but crisp.
Slice avocado just before serving.
Serve grilled chicken alongside asparagus and avocado slices.
Notes
