Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 4 cups mixed lettuce greens (such as romaine, arugula, and spinach)
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).

  3. 3

    Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and rub to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Grill chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  5. 5

    While the chicken is grilling, prepare the salad base by combining the mixed lettuce, diced tomato, and sliced red onion in a large bowl.

  6. 6

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove from grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

  7. 7

    Add sliced avocado to the salad base and top with grilled chicken.

  8. 8

    In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, remaining olive oil, and a pinch of salt for the dressing. Drizzle over the salad and toss gently to combine.
