Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Avocado
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 pieces Cucumber, sliced
- 0.5 pieces Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper on both sides.
Cook the chicken in the skillet for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Set aside to cool slightly, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
While the chicken cools, prepare the salad base: wash and chop the romaine lettuce, slice the avocado, cucumber, and red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, remaining olive oil, honey, cilantro, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocado slices. Add the sliced chicken on top.
Drizzle the lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, flavorful Chicken Avocado Salad!
