Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 cups mixed salad greens
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium cucumber
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 1 large avocado
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour in the refrigerator if you have the time.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 5

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the salad ingredients. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber and red onion, and dice the avocado.

Step 6

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

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and honey.

Step 8

Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 9

Add the sliced grilled chicken to the salad and drizzle the balsamic lemon dressing over the top.

Step 10

Toss the salad gently to combine all the ingredients and serve immediately.
