Grilled Chicken & Avocado Diet Salad
A halal, high-protein salad built for weight loss - grilled chicken, creamy avocado, and crisp greens tossed in a light lemon-olive oil dressing. Ready in 20 minutes, ~350 kcal a bowl.
There's a reason grilled chicken and avocado shows up on every "clean eating" list - it's simple, it's filling, and when the produce is actually fresh, it barely needs a dressing to taste good. This one's halal, high-protein, and light enough for lunch or dinner without leaving you hungry an hour later.
🧾 INGREDIENTS (1-2 servings)
1 boneless chicken breast (halal)
1 tsp olive oil
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp paprika
Salt to taste
1 cup lettuce (or mixed greens)
½ cucumber, sliced
1 small tomato, chopped
¼ avocado, sliced
1 tbsp boiled chickpeas (optional, but recommended for fiber)
🥣 DRESSING (light & diet-friendly)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
Pinch of salt & black pepper
🔥 INSTRUCTIONS
1. Season & grill the chicken - rub with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Grill or pan-cook (no deep frying) until fully cooked, then slice.
2. Build the salad base - in a bowl, add the lettuce, cucumber, tomato, avocado, and chickpeas.
3. Assemble - place the grilled chicken slices on top.
4. Dress it - drizzle with the lemon and olive oil dressing, toss lightly, and serve.
