Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium cucumber, chopped
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Let it rest before slicing.
  2. While the chicken cools, chop cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine diced avocados with lime juice to prevent browning. Gently fold in chopped vegetables.
  4. Slice the cooled chicken and add it to the salad mix. Toss everything together gently to avoid mashing the avocados.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice as needed.

Nutrition

Keywords: For added flavor, marinate the chicken before cooking with spices like cumin or garlic powder. Customize your salad by swapping chicken for grilled shrimp or adding seasonal fruits such as mango. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days; keep avocado separate until serving.
