Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill pan or grill to high heat.

  2. Whisk dressing ingredients until emulsified, then reserve half for later.

  3. Marinate chicken breasts in the remaining dressing in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

  4. While chicken marinates, prepare the salad by washing and cutting romaine, then arranging other vegetables (olives, cucumbers) on a platter, and slicing avocado last.

  5. Cook chicken on the preheated grill for 5 minutes per side, or until it reaches 165 F internal temperature.

  6. Rest chicken for 2-3 minutes, then slice and place it in the center of the prepared salad.

  7. Drizzle the reserved dressing over the salad and serve.
