Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F) and drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  3. While the chicken is grilling, wash the fresh spinach, slice the strawberries, and dice the avocados.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the spinach, sliced strawberries, diced avocados, and chopped red onion. Toss gently.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Optionally add honey for sweetness.
  6. Once the chicken has rested, slice it into strips and arrange it on top of the salad. Drizzle the dressing just before serving.
