Ingredients

For the salad:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 cups mixed salad greens (e.g., spinach, arugula, lettuce)
1 small cucumber, sliced
1 medium tomato, diced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1 avocado, sliced
Fresh cilantro leaves (optional), for garnish

For the dressing:

Juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cucumber, tomato, red onion, and avocado slices.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Divide the salad onto two plates and top with the sliced grilled chicken.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, if desired.
