- 3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lbs)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
- To make the dressing, whisk together raw honey, dijon mustard, lemon juice (or vinegar), and avocado oil in a bowl or blend using an immersion blender for a smooth texture. Set aside.
- Prepare the chicken by combining salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl, then season the chicken breasts all over.
- Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium/medium-high heat, brushing with avocado oil. Grill chicken for about 5 minutes per side until cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove and let rest.
- In a large serving bowl, layer chopped greens with cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, cucumber, avocado, cooked bacon, and sliced hard-boiled eggs. Slice the grilled chicken and add on top.
- Drizzle with the prepared dressing and toss the salad, or serve the dressing on the side. Enjoy!
Notes
