Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Coat the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    You can either grill or fry the chicken. For grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. For frying, heat a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil, and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Preparing the Salad

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is cooking, wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber and red onion, and dice the avocado.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocado. Toss gently to mix.

Making the Dressing

  1. 6

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 7

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly.

Final Assembly

  1. 8

    Slice the Chicken

    Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes and then slice it into strips.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Top the salad with the sliced chicken and serve immediately.
