Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the salad bowl by arranging the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocado in serving bowls.

Once the chicken is cooked, slice it and place it on top of the prepared salad bowls. Sprinkle with feta cheese if desired, and serve immediately.

A sprinkle of sesame seeds or nuts can also introduce an interesting crunch, giving your dish an exciting texture. Pairing it with a refreshing drink like iced tea or lemonade can further elevate the dining experience.

If you're looking to turn this bowl into a complete meal, consider adding a side of whole grain bread or pita for a satisfying carbohydrate boost. This will not only make your meal more filling but also add a delightful element to your dining experience.
