Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for grilling the chicken
  • 1 medium avocado sliced
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens spinach, arugula, romaine
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup cucumber sliced
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil for dressing
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken: Season both chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Warm a grill pan over medium heat and brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side, ensuring it’s fully cooked through. Remove from the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, mix together the salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado slices.
  • Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Combine Everything: Add the sliced grilled chicken on top of the salad. Drizzle the dressing over the ingredients and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
  • Serve Immediately: Enjoy this protein-packed meal fresh for the best flavor and texture.
