Gathering fresh, quality ingredients is key to a flavorful dish. Here’s what you’ll need for a perfect Grilled Chicken and Avocado Salad:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 ripe avocados
- 4 cups mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, and romaine work well)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high and season chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, then let it rest.
- Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, scoop the flesh into a bowl, and drizzle with lime juice.
- In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese. Add sliced chicken and gently fold in the avocado.
- Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil, toss lightly, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in lime juice and olive oil for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Feel free to add other vegetables or nuts to the salad for extra crunch.
