    Begin by cooking the chicken breast. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until it's fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.

    While the chicken is cooking, prepare your vegetables. Wash and chop the lettuce and place it in a large salad bowl.

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the lettuce. Add in the sliced tomato and thinly sliced red onion.

    In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper to make the dressing.

    Once the chicken has cooled slightly, add it to the salad bowl as well.
