Instructions

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rub chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Grill chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove and let rest before slicing.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, Dijon mustard, and honey for the dressing. Set aside.
In a large bowl or individual serving bowls, add mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and sliced avocado.
Top with grilled chicken slices and crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle dressing over the top and serve immediately.

Notes

You can swap feta with goat cheese or omit for a dairy-free version.
Add quinoa or brown rice for extra carbs and fiber.
Grilled shrimp or tofu works well as a chicken substitute.
Best served fresh, but you can store components separately for meal prep.
