Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cooking the chicken breasts: season them with a pinch of salt and pepper and grill or poach them over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let them cool slightly.

Step 2

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the dressing: in a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 3

Dice the avocado into small cubes and set aside. Be sure to choose a ripe avocado for the best creaminess.

Step 4

Thinly slice the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes.

Step 5

Once the chicken has cooled, cut it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, and chopped parsley.

Step 7

Pour the prepared yogurt dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss until everything is well coated. Be careful not to mash the avocado.

Step 8

Wash and chop the romaine lettuce, then distribute it evenly among serving plates.

Step 9

Top each plate of lettuce with the chicken and avocado mixture.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, low-fat avocado and chicken salad!
