Ingredients

2 avocados ripe, but firm

2 tablespoons lime juice divided

1 tablespoon olive oil divided

salt and pepper to taste​

4 chicken breasts

1 t garlic powder

1 t onion powder

1 pint cherry tomatoes

½ red onion medium, diced

½ c feta cheese crumbled

½ bunch of coriander chopped

Cut the avocado in wedges and gently rub them with lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Preparation

  1. 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.

  2. Meanwhile, drizzle the chicken with ½ tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with the seasonings, and toss well to completely coat.

  3. Add the chicken to the preheated grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 75C (165F). Once the chicken is done allow it to sit for a few minutes, then slice it.

  4. To a large salad bowl add the chopped veggies, avocado and top with the grilled chicken. Drizzle with olive oil, lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Crumble feta cheese over and garnish with freshly chopped coriander. Toss and serve!
