Fill the pan with water and place the vegetable steamer on top.

Chop the ends off the Brussels sprouts and pour them into the steamer to start steaming.

In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.

Take two chicken breasts and split them in half to make four pieces.

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using parchment paper or a similar item.

Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and cover them with the marinade using a spatula.

In a separate bowl, mix diced avocado, diced tomato, 1/4 cup of red onion, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, salt, and pepper to make the avocado salsa. Place it in the fridge.

Cook the chopped bacon in a pan until crispy.

Preheat the oven to 350°F for the Brussels sprouts.

Take the steamed Brussels sprouts, season with salt and pepper, and top with shredded cheddar cheese and crispy bacon before placing them in the oven until the cheese is melted.

Heat a grill pan on medium-high and place the marinated chicken breasts on it to grill.

Flip the chicken breasts after they are grilled on one side.

Once the chicken is done grilling, place it on a plate and top each piece with the avocado salsa.
