• 1 large Avocado
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 1 whole Lime
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 3 tablespoons Whole30-compliant chipotle hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

Begin by marinating the chicken breasts: in a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, chipotle chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts until well coated.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts.

Step 4

Cook the chicken for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 5

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad: place the mixed greens into a large salad bowl.

Step 6

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the avocado, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the fresh cilantro.

Step 7

Add the cherry tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and cilantro to the mixed greens.

Step 8

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.

Step 9

In a small bowl, combine the lime juice with the Whole30-compliant chipotle hot sauce to make the dressing.

Step 10

Drizzle the chipotle-lime dressing over the salad ingredients, toss together to combine.

Step 11

Top the salad with the sliced grilled chicken strips.

Step 12

Serve immediately, enjoying the fresh, vibrant flavors of this Whole30 compliant chipotle salad.
