Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Mixed salad greens - 100 grams
• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved
• Cucumber - 1/2, sliced
• Red onion - 1/4, thinly sliced
• Avocado - 1/2, sliced
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
3. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the salad by placing mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocado in a large bowl.
4. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
5. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
6. Top the salad with grilled chicken strips and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
7. Drizzle with any remaining marinade or extra lime juice before serving.
