Instructions
- Cut the avocado in wedges and gently rub them with lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Heat a grill pan or an outside grill over medium-high heat.
- Grill the avocado wedges for 2-4 minutes per side, or until grill marks are visible. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, drizzle the chicken with ½ tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with the seasonings, and toss well to completely coat.
- Add the chicken to the preheated grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165F. Once the chicken is done allow it to sit for a few minutes, then slice it.
- To a large salad bowl add the chopped veggies and avocado and top with the grilled chicken. Drizzle with olive oil, and lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
- Crumble feta cheese over and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Toss and serve!
Notes
- Be sure to cook the chicken to at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- Swap the chicken breast with boneless chicken thighs if you would like.
