Instructions

Preparation

  • Begin by seasoning the chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat and lightly brush it with olive oil. Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side or until fully cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

Prepare the Dressing

  • In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocado, Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning as needed.

Assemble the Bowl

  • Start with a generous base of chopped romaine or mixed greens. Layer on diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and grilled corn.

Top and Serve

  • Arrange the sliced grilled chicken on top of the vegetables. Drizzle with the avocado dressing and sprinkle chili flakes if desired. Toss together or enjoy as is.

Notes

Marinate chicken breast for 30 minutes to enhance flavor. Add feta cheese or sunflower seeds for extra flavor.
