Cook the chicken on the grill or in a cast iron skillet with a little oil on a medium heat until it's cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
It will take approximately 8-10 minutes per side, but it depends on the thickness of the chicken.

-
Assemble your grilled chicken salad in a large salad bowl by adding the lettuce, sliced grilled chicken, tomatoes, avocado, onion, cucumber, and cheese.

Add a couple of tablespoons of salad dressing and toss the salad so that it is well coated. You will not need all of the dressing.
-
Serve topped with sliced almonds.
