Instructions

Step 1: Season the Chicken

Brush the chicken with olive oil and season both sides with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2: Grill the Chicken

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Cook the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 3: Prepare the Dressing

Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.

In a large serving bowl, combine the salad greens, mango, avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and cilantro.

Top with the sliced grilled chicken.

Step 5: Serve

Drizzle the honey lime dressing over the salad just before serving and toss gently.
