INGREDIENTS NOTES:
CHICKEN:
- We can use the chicken breasts, which are lean and high in protein, without the bone and skin. Chicken breasts are excellent. You can use chicken thighs instead of them for a more tasty and juicy alternative.
EGGS:

LEAFY GREENS:
- We can use a mix of leafy greens like romaine, spinach, and Arugula, which combine to provide a unique taste and texture. You can also add iceberg lettuce or kale, depending on your tastes.
AVOCADO:
- Avocado offers a creamy taste and good fats. We have to pick an avocado that is ripe but firm for optimal results.
CHERRY TOMATOES:
- Cherry tomatoes offer a touch of sweetness and a blast of freshness. You can also use cucumber or grape tomatoes for a more neutral taste.
RED ONIONS:
- Red onion adds a little sourness, but may be left out, or you can also use the green onions if you want to make it light.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive Oil is utilized in making the dressing and it is also use for grilling the chicken.
SEASONING:
- We can use the some common spices like black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic seasoning, oil, and salt which add flavor to the chicken. You can add additional spices, like as thyme or cayenne, or modify these to suit your preferences.
