- Mashed ripe avocado
- Fresh lime juice
- 1 small garlic clove, finely crushed or minced
- Diced red chili (to taste)
- Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Grill the chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Grill for 4–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the surface is well-marked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
- Prepare the vegetables: Wash and dry the lettuce or salad mix. Slice the cucumber into rounds and halve the cherry tomatoes. Drain or grill the corn kernels for added flavour.
- Make the guacamole: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork. Stir in lime juice, crushed garlic, diced red chili, and chopped cilantro if using. Mix until combined but still textured. Taste and adjust with extra lime or salt if needed.
- Assemble the bowl: In a wide salad bowl or plate, start with a bed of greens. Add the grilled chicken slices, cucumber, corn, and cherry tomatoes. Place a generous spoonful of guacamole in the centre or off to the side. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil if desired.
