CHICKEN AND AVOCADO SALAD
INGREDIENTS
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for pan
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups romaine lettuce or baby spinach
- 1 large tomato, cut in a large dice
- 1 small red onion, cut in a medium dice
- 1/2 cup cucumber, cut in a half moons
- 2 avocados, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cilantro fresh or dried
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
DIRECTIONS
- Wash and pat the chicken breasts dry.
- In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, two large pinches of salt, a few cracks of black pepper, and olive oil.
- Evenly sprinkle the spices on each side of the chicken breasts.
- Heat a large cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle in about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook chicken on medium heat, flipping halfway through cook-time, until it’s no longer pink in center (approximately 15 minutes, depending on thickness).
- Add all the ingredients (except for the chicken and avocado) to a large salad bowl, drizzling the olive oil, and sprinkling the salt, pepper, and cilantro. Toss with tongs.
- Remove the chicken and cut diagonally into strips. Place on top of salad along with the sliced avocado, and serve immediately.
