Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Avocado Chicken Salad
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F). Season the chicken breasts with your choice of spices or a little salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the meat is lightly charred. Once fully cooked, allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. While the chicken rests, take a large bowl and combine diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped cucumbers. Make sure your cucumber slices are crisp to add a refreshing crunch.
  3. After prepping your veggies, squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture in the bowl. Toss the ingredients gently with a spatula to combine, being cautious not to mash the avocado.
  4. Introduce the sliced grilled chicken to the vibrant mixture. Add the chicken to the bowl along with any juices that have collected. Season the salad with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs.
  5. Gently toss all the ingredients together until well mixed. Check the seasoning one last time and adjust if necessary, then your Avocado Chicken Salad is ready to serve.
