Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Grill the chicken breasts for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Once cooked, remove from the grill and let cool slightly.

Step 4

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the other salad ingredients. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber and red bell pepper, and thinly slice the red onion. Dice the avocado.

Step 5

In a large bowl, add the mixed salad greens followed by the prepared tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and avocado.

Step 6

To make the dressing, whisk together remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, remaining 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl.

Step 7

Cut the slightly cooled chicken into bite-sized pieces or slices.

Step 8

Add the grilled chicken to the salad bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until well combined.

Step 9

Garnish the salad with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve the salad immediately for the best taste and presentation.
