Ingredients
  

  • 2 pieces Chicken breast (boneless, skinless) About 8 oz each
  • 2 large Avocado Diced
  • 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes Halved
  • 1 cup Cucumber Diced
  • 1/4 cup Red onion Finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro Chopped (can substitute parsley)
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil Divided use
  • 2 tbsp Lime juice Freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Divided use
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper Divided use

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with half of the salt and black pepper.
  • Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before chopping into bite-sized cubes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped grilled chicken, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro.
  • In a small jar, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, fresh lime juice, and the remaining salt and pepper to create the dressing.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine, ensuring the avocado chunks remain intact. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for meal prep.
