Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Brush the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, and avocado.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
Divide the salad among four serving plates and top with slices of grilled chicken.
