Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and then chop into small pieces.
Peel and slice the boiled eggs.
Dice the avocado and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Finely slice the red onion.
To assemble the salad, place the mixed greens on a large platter or individual plates. Top with sliced grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, avocado, chopped bacon, boiled eggs, and red onion.
For the dressing, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey in a small bowl. Drizzle over the salad just before serving.
Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients well and serve immediately.
