▹ How to Make Grilled Chicken Avocado Salad Bowl

1. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with black pepper. Add a small amount of olive oil if needed.
2. Grill the chicken: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
3. Rest the chicken: Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
4. Prepare the vegetables: Wash the mixed greens and cherry tomatoes. Slice the cucumber and avocado, and halve the tomatoes.
5. Make the dressing: Whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper in a small bowl.
6. Build the bowl: Add the mixed greens to a large bowl. Arrange the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and avocado on top.
7. Add the chicken: Slice the grilled chicken and place it over the vegetables.
8. Finish and serve: Drizzle with the lemon olive oil dressing and serve immediately.

▹ Helpful Tips

• Use chicken breasts of similar thickness so they cook evenly.
• Let the grilled chicken rest before slicing to help keep it juicy.
• Add the avocado shortly before serving for the freshest texture.
• Keep the dressing separate if preparing the bowl ahead of time.
• For extra flavor, add fresh parsley, cilantro, basil, or a pinch of red pepper flakes.

You can easily customize this bowl with your favorite vegetables. Try red onion, bell peppers, shredded carrots, radishes, roasted zucchini, or steamed broccoli.

For a more substantial lunch, add cooked quinoa, brown rice, chickpeas, or black beans. You can also replace the chicken with grilled turkey or salmon for a different protein option.
