Instructions

Season the chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Grill the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, until fully cooked with grill marks.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly.
Blend avocado, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth to make the dressing.
Layer the greens in a bowl and top with chopped avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and roasted corn.
Place the sliced grilled chicken on top of the salad.
Drizzle the avocado dressing over the salad.
Sprinkle chili flakes on top if desired.
Toss everything together and serve fresh.

Notes

Store chicken, veggies, and dressing separately to keep ingredients fresh.
Dressing can be made dairy-free using dairy-free yogurt or extra avocado and olive oil.
Great protein alternatives include salmon, shrimp, turkey, or tofu.
Additional toppings like feta, olives, nuts, or seeds can enhance flavor and texture.
To make it spicier, add cayenne to the dressing or jalapeños on top.
