How to make chicken, avocado, and orange salad

Start by seasoning chicken fillets with salt, pepper, or your preferred spices, and brush them with olive oil. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Cook the fillets for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until they’re cooked through.

Roughly chop the lettuce leaves and arrange them on a serving plate. Peel and segment the orange, and juice another half of an orange for the dressing. Cut the avocado and chicken into slices.

Arrange the orange segments, avocado slices, and chicken slices over the lettuce. Sprinkle with almonds and season with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the orange juice, mustard, oil, and honey. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and serve.
