Barbecued Chicken With Guacamole Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 pounds of strawberries, hulled and diced (divided)
- 2 cups of water
- 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

How To Make Barbecued Chicken With Guacamole
Place the chicken on a plate with the skin side up, and gently rub olive oil, salt, and pepper onto the skin.
Grill the chicken over hot barbecue coals for 10-15 minutes, flipping once, until the chicken is charred on the outside. Cut into thick chunks and ensure it is fully cooked through, with no pink remaining.
In the meantime, combine all the salad ingredients in a bowl and season according to your taste.
Serve the grilled chicken on a bed of rice, accompanied by the salad and guacamole on the side.
Recipe Notes
Citrus Marinade: Use fresh lime juice, and optionally orange, with garlic, cilantro, and spices like cumin and chili powder to tenderize and infuse vibrant flavor.
Hot Grill Sear: Begin cooking on high heat to develop a flavorful crust, then move to indirect heat to finish cooking through while staying juicy.
Guacamole Garnish: Use ripe avocados, lime juice, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño to make a chunky guacamole that complements the smoky chicken.
Serve With: Offer tortillas, rice, or a simple salad on the side to make it a complete meal.
Meal Prep Tip: The chicken can be marinated and grilled ahead of time. Keep guacamole chilled and add just before serving for freshness.
