Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Avocado
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 pieces Cucumber, sliced
- 0.5 pieces Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey

Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 2
Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Cook the chicken in the skillet for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Set aside to cool slightly, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
While the chicken cools, prepare the salad base: wash and chop the romaine lettuce, slice the avocado, cucumber, and red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, remaining olive oil, honey, cilantro, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the dressing.
Step 6
In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocado slices. Add the sliced chicken on top.
Step 7
Drizzle the lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, flavorful Chicken Avocado Salad!
