Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 large avocado
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions
Begin by marinating the chicken breast. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and add to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber, dice the avocado, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and honey to make the dressing.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely browned.
In each serving bowl, start with a base of mixed salad greens, then layer with cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, diced avocado, and red onion.
Place the cooked chicken strips on top of the salad. Drizzle with the prepared dressing.
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve the Paleo Flavorful Chicken Bowl immediately and enjoy!
