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!

    The salad was soooo good! Never had raw corn- YUM! Blasted that chicken on high and for the first time I finally had a moist chicken breast. Thanks Gaby!

  5. Just made this and it was absolutely delicious!! The chicken marinade and cilantro vinaigrette were *chefs kiss*.
    We grilled the corn on the cob along with the chicken before mixing with the avocado and tomatoes and served with some grilled naan to soak up all the yumminess!

  6. This sounds amazing! Definitely going to make it however I have an aversion to Cilantro (it’s an actual genetic thing saw it on my 23 and me test). Is there a substitute you can recommend that would go with the salad/dish?

  7. Hi Gaby! This looks fantastic!! I'd like to make it for a get together we're having in a couple weeks, but have a question. The recipe calls for skin on chicken breasts. They look like boneless in the picture, but I want to make sure. Are we to use boneless chicken breasts with the skin on?

    This recipe is seriously delicious and the cilantro vinaigrette pushes it over the edge. I made it two nights ago and I’m making more right now with extra for leftovers. So tasty!
