Ingredients

Scale

    • 2 chicken breasts, seasoned with your favorite spices (e.g., paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper)
    • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • For the Veggies:
    • 2 cups lettuce, chopped
    • 1 cup tomatoes, diced

    • 1 ripe avocado
    • 1 tbsp lemon juice
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
    • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option)
    • Salt & pepper, to taste


Instructions

  • Grill the Chicken:
    Coat the chicken breasts in olive oil and spices. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, until fully cooked. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

  • Assemble the Bowl:
    Divide the veggie mixture between two bowls. Add sliced chicken on top and drizzle with the creamy avocado sauce.
  • Garnish & Serve:
    Sprinkle with chili flakes or crushed black pepper for an extra kick. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Swap chicken with grilled tofu or shrimp for variety.
  • Add cooked quinoa or brown rice for more carbs.
