→ For the avocado salsa
10 - 2 medium avocados, diced
11 - 1/2 cup diced red onion
12 - 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
13 - 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
14 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
15 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Combine olive oil, lime juice, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, kosher salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly until integrated.
02 - Add chicken cubes to the bowl and coat evenly with marinade. Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours, to allow flavors to infuse.
03 - Remove chicken from marinade and thread onto prepared skewers, spacing pieces slightly apart for even cooking.
04 - Preheat outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
05 - Arrange skewers on the grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until chicken is charred and cooked through with clear juices.
06 - While chicken grills, gently combine diced avocados, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Toss lightly to preserve avocado texture.
07 - Transfer grilled chicken skewers to a serving platter. Spoon avocado salsa alongside or on top. Serve immediately.
