Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 2 pieces Celery stalks
- 1 piece Red bell pepper
- 0.25 piece Red onion
- 0.25 cup Almonds, sliced
- 1 piece Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Coat the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Grill the chicken for 7-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Let it rest for 5 minutes before dicing into small cubes.
While the chicken is resting, finely chop the celery, red bell pepper, and red onion.
In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, chopped celery, red bell pepper, red onion, and sliced almonds.
In a separate small bowl, mash the avocado and mix it with lime juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and chopped cilantro to create a creamy dressing.
Pour the avocado dressing over the chicken mixture and toss until everything is well coated.
Lay the romaine lettuce leaves on a serving platter.
Spoon the chicken salad evenly into each lettuce leaf.
Serve immediately as a light meal or appetizer.
