Instructions

Prep the Chicken:
Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 10–15 minutes while the grill preheats.
Grill the Chicken:
Grill over medium heat for 5–6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
Make the Dressing:
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Assemble the Salad:
Divide the greens between two bowls. Top each with grilled chicken, avocado slices, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta (if using).

Drizzle and Serve:
Drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

Add some cooked quinoa or brown rice to make it a grain bowl.
Swap the dressing for balsamic vinaigrette or ranch if you prefer.

Use grilled shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
