Grilled Chicken with Avocado Tomato Salad checks off all the boxes when it comes to a dinner party meal! It's pretty, instagram friendly, delicious and most important EASY!

Grilled Chicken and Tomato Avocado Salad from www.whatsgabycooking.com (@whatsgabycookin)

Is it sad that I pick recipes for dinner parties based on that criteria? I've just come to terms with the fact that that's the world we live in and it's really nice when everything is pretty. This grilled chicken number is beyond. The chicken is moist (my least favorite word ever but let's use it anyways) as it's marinated for about an hour before going on the grill. The avocado tomato and corn salad mixed with my cilantro vinaigrette is a dream come true. You could just eat the salad if that's more your style, but trust me when I say that everything combined together is the all time most perfect summer bite. Take a stab at this one this weekend, you won't be disappointed!

  1. We made this today and used skinless, boneless chicken breast and it came out just great! Tastes like summer! ☀️

  2. I have never seen boneless, skin on chicken breasts! Can you actually buy them like that ir do you have to have a butcher do it for you.

  3. 5 stars
