Ingredients:

1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
8 oz chicken breasts
230g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 tsp lime juice
10g
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1.55g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
8g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 avocado
200g
1 apple
180g
1/4 cup celery
24g
1/2 onion
170g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Lightly coat a skillet with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink inside.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to cool slightly.
2. Mix the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Chop and Combine Salad Ingredients:
- While the chicken is cooling, peel, pit, and dice the avocado. Place the diced avocado in a large salad bowl.
- Core and dice the apple, and add the apple pieces to the bowl.
- Chop the celery and finely chop the onion and fresh parsley. Add both to the salad bowl with the avocado and apple.
4. Assemble the Salad:
- Once the chicken has cooled enough to handle, dice it into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the diced chicken to the salad bowl with the other ingredients.
5. Toss and Serve:
- Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
- Gently toss everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
6. Serve Immediately:
- Serve the salad immediately while the chicken is still warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- For maximum flavor, allow the chicken to marinate in the lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper mixture for at least 15-20 minutes before cooking.

- Use a ripe avocado to ensure a creamy texture. You can check ripeness by gently pressing the avocado - it should yield to slight pressure.

- Granny Smith apples are a great choice for this salad because of their crispness and tart flavor, but feel free to use any variety you prefer.

- To prevent the apples and avocado from browning, you can toss them in a little bit of extra lime juice before adding them to the salad.

- For added crunch, you can sprinkle some toasted nuts or seeds, like almonds or sunflower seeds, on top of the salad before serving.

Your Citrusy Avocado, Apple, and Chicken Salad is now ready to serve. This vibrant and satisfying dish is perfect for lunch, dinner, or as a refreshing side. Enjoy the blend of zesty citrus, creamy avocado, and deliciously seasoned chicken. Bon appétit!
