Number Of Ingredients 10

Vegetable oil, for grill pan
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 2 pounds)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups cooked chickpeas
3 fresh Poblano peppers, seeded, deribbed, and finely chopped
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette
3 ripe, firm avocados, peeled, pitted, and diced
Lime slices, for serving
4 sprigs fresh cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • Oil a grill pan and place over high heat until hot. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, place chicken skin-side down on grill pan. Cook 4 minutes. Turn, and cook until just cooked through, about 2 minutes more. As each batch is finished, set aside on a platter. Oil grill pan as necessary. When chicken is cool enough to handle, cut into medium dice, and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add chickpeas, peppers, onion, and vinaigrette. Toss to combine. Gently fold in avocado. Serve garnished with lime wedges and cilantro.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The sweetness of the avocado, the tanginess of the dressing, and the smokiness of the grilled chicken all work together perfectly.

I'm not a big fan of avocados, but I loved this salad! The dressing was light and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of grilled chicken on the weekend, and then I use it in salads, sandwiches, and wraps throughout the week.

This grilled chicken and avocado salad was a hit at our last potluck! The chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy, and the avocado added a creamy richness that balanced out the tangy dressing. Everyone raved about it, and I'm definitely making it agai
