- handful of fresh basil leaves and lettuce
- 2 –3 whole avocados
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder

Instructions
- On the stovetop heat up a pan, or cast iron pan.
- Oil the chicken and then spice the chicken breasts with salt and garlic powder and pepper and Italian herbs.
- Sauté your chicken breasts, in a sauce pan or skillet, oiled with some olive oil. Should take about 4-5 minutes a side. (depending on the thickness of the breasts, or slice them in half for a shorter cook time)
- Preheat the grill in the oven. Place the chicken on the grilling pan, grill for about 2 minutes, then sprinkle some parmesan cheese over the top of the chicken and grill for about 2 minutes until the cheese has melted.
- While this is all grilling cut the red cherry tomatoes in half, salt and pepper them. Cut the mozzarella into small cubes or thin slices. Add a little Italian herbs and toss all together.
- Cut the avocado in half and peel it. You can slice it or keep larger pieces for the dish. Spice with lemon pepper and salt.
- Once the chicken has finished grilling, slice them up for serving. Place in four separate bowls. Toss the tomatoes on a few lettuce leaves. Share the tomatoes and cheese mix in the four bowls. Place the avocado in each bowl.
- Garnish with basil leaves and top with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Serve this summer light lunch for a filling and protein rich meal.
