Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, water, red wine vinegar, chopped parsley, dried basil, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and cracked pepper. Reserve half for later use. Marinate the chicken thighs for 15 to 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Salad: While the chicken is marinating, wash and chop your fresh salad ingredients. Combine them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Place marinated chicken thighs on the grill, cooking for 6 to 7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  4. Rest & Slice the Chicken: Let the grilled chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
  5. Assemble the Salad: Arrange the sliced chicken over the salad. Drizzle with the reserved dressing. Serve with avocado slices and lemon wedges.
