1
Preheat your grill to 375°F (190°C), which is around the medium-high setting on most grills.
2
Brush both sides of the chicken breasts evenly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with the ancho chili powder, garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside to marinate momentarily.
3
Brush the cut sides of the apricots with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
4
Grill the chicken for about 7 minutes each side, or until the inside is no longer pink and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from grill and let rest.
5
Grill the apricots, cut-side down, for about 4 minutes until slightly softened and with char marks. Allow them to cool.
6
While the apricots are cooling, combine diced avocado, chopped cilantro, chopped red onion, sliced jalapeño, lime juice, and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon of salt in a medium mixing bowl.
7
Dice the grilled apricots and stir them into the salsa.
8
Serve each chicken breast with a heap of the apricot salsa and a lime wedge on the side.
