  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp chili powder

Instructions

  1. Clean the chicken by removing fat, slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make them thinner and easier to cook.

  3. Add the chicken to the bowl and coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to overnight.
  4. Heat a large pan over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade. Place in heated pan and allow to cook about 5-7 minutes on each side or until chicken is fully cooked through. Leave in the pan extra time to blacken if desired.
  5. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set on cutting board to let rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
  6. Assemble the salad, layer the lettuce, chicken, tomato, avocado, and drizzle with Avocado Ranch. Or any dressing of your choice.
  7. Serve and enjoy!
