Instructions

Pat chicken dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper on all sides.
To a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add chicken to the pan and cook undisturbed for 4-6 minutes. Flip and repeat with the opposite side. Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the skillet. Set it aside to rest for 5 minutes. After the chicken has rested and slightly cooled, slice it.
In a large bowl, add lettuce, sliced avocado, tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and basil leaves. Top with chicken and dressing.
Toss and serve.
