Grill the Chicken
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Vegetables
While the chicken is grilling, wash and prepare the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, and avocado. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, slice the cucumber, thinly slice the red onion, chop the bell pepper, and dice the avocado.
