Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by grilling your chicken breasts over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are golden brown. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before chopping it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. While the chicken is resting, take a ripe avocado, cut it in half, and remove the pit. Scoop the creamy flesh into a bowl and chop it into cubes. Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumbers.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumbers. Toss gently to distribute the ingredients.
  4. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture, about 1-2 tablespoons, depending on your preference. Gently toss everything together.
  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
