Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups mixed greens (such as spinach, arugula, or lettuce)
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds or walnuts (optional)

For the Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
  • Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
  • Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey (if using), and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Assemble the Salad: Divide the salad mixture into bowls. Top with sliced grilled chicken, crumbled feta cheese (if using), and sliced almonds or walnuts (if using).
  • Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  • Serve: Enjoy immediately as a healthy, satisfying meal!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil and seasoning mixture for 30 minutes before grilling.
  • You can add other toppings like roasted vegetables, boiled eggs, or quinoa for added nutrition.
  • This salad can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days, but it’s best to add the dressing just before serving to keep the salad fresh.
