Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large avocados
• 4 cups mixed salad greens
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium cucumber
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0 to taste salt and pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by cooking the chicken breasts. Season them with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

Step 3

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

Step 4

While the chicken is resting, prep the vegetables. Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and cut the flesh into chunks. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Slice the cucumber and red onion thinly.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, avocado chunks, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 7

Add the sliced chicken to the vegetables and pour the creamy dressing over the top.

Step 8

Toss everything gently to combine and coat the ingredients with the dressing.

Step 9

Serve the creamy avocado and chicken salad immediately, enjoying the harmony of flavors and textures.
