Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad by adding the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and avocado to a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey to create the dressing.
Divide the salad mixture evenly between two plates or bowls.
Top each portion with sliced grilled chicken and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.
Drizzle the dressing over the salads and serve immediately.
