Grilled Chicken Salad with Avocado Dressing

Ingredients:

For the Salad:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 cups mixed salad greens (spinach, kale, arugula, etc.)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

For the Avocado Dressing:

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Water (as needed to reach desired consistency)

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
    2. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
    3. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion.
    4. For the dressing, blend together the avocado, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil until smooth. Add water as needed to reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    5. Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it on top of the salad. Sprinkle with feta cheese if desired.
    6. Drizzle the avocado dressing over the salad just before serving.

    Workout Routine:

    Combine this healthy recipe with a regular exercise routine to maximize fat loss. Here’s a simple workout you can do at home:

    Full Body Workout (Repeat 3 times):

    1. Bodyweight Squats (15 reps): Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your body as if you’re sitting back into a chair, keeping your chest up. Return to the starting position.
    2. Push-ups (12 reps): Keep your body in a straight line, lower your chest to the ground by bending your elbows, then push back up.
    3. Lunges (12 reps each leg): Step forward with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. Return to the starting position and switch legs.
    4. Plank (30 seconds): Hold a plank position with your body in a straight line from head to heels. Engage your core and keep your back flat.
    5. Jumping Jacks (1 minute): Jump your feet wide while raising your arms overhead, then jump back to the starting position.

    Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting a new diet or exercise program. Adjust the intensity of the workout based on your fitness level, and gradually increase it as you get stronger. Consistency is key for both healthy eating and exercising.
