Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups mixed salad greens
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cucumber, sliced
• 0.25 red onion, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey to create the dressing.

Step 6

Divide the salad mixture evenly between two plates or bowls.

Step 7

Top each portion with sliced grilled chicken and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.

Step 8

Drizzle the dressing over the salads and serve immediately.
