Bulletproof Grilled Chicken Salad with Avocado

Veggies are great and all, but sometimes you need a salad that actually keeps you full. Enter this Bulletproof Grilled Chicken Salad with Avocado – it’s like the salad version of your favorite protein shake, but way tastier and without the weird aftertaste.

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced
• 4 cups mixed greens
• 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinaigrette

Instructions

1. Prep the chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking. This little trick prevents the thinner parts from drying out while the thicker parts cook through.
2. Season generously: Rub the chicken with olive oil, then sprinkle both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb all those flavors.
3. Grill to perfection: Heat your grill to medium-high (about 375°F). Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature hits 165°F. No thermometer? No problem. The chicken should feel firm to the touch and the juices should run clear.
4. Slice and assemble: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes (this keeps it juicy), then slice it against the grain. Toss the mixed greens and cherry tomatoes with balsamic vinaigrette, top with sliced chicken and avocado.

The chicken comes out smoky and slightly spicy, while the avocado adds that creamy contrast we all crave. Try serving it on a warm tortilla for a salad taco situation that’s borderline genius.

Alright, let’s dive into making this Bulletproof Salmon with Garlic Butter Sauce that’s going to knock your socks off. It’s the kind of dish that looks fancy but is secretly easy to whip up, perfect for those nights when you want to impress without the stress.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs salmon fillet, skin-on for that crispy goodness
• 2 tbsp olive oil, because we’re not animals
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided (trust me on this)
• 4 garlic cloves, minced like you mean it
• 1 tsp salt, to make everything pop
• 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground if you’ve got it
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, for a little kick
• 1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed, none of that bottled nonsense
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley, for that fresh finish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven: Crank it up to 400°F because we’re about to get serious.
2. Season the salmon: Rub that fillet all over with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper like you’re seasoning the last meal on earth.
3. Sear to perfection: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tbsp butter, and once it’s sizzling, place the salmon skin-side down. Let it cook for 3 minutes without touching it – this is how you get that crispy skin.
4. Flip with care: Gently turn the salmon over and cook for another 2 minutes. Then, transfer the skillet to the oven to finish cooking for about 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
5. Make the sauce: In the same skillet (because flavor), melt the remaining 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley, then remove from heat.
6. Serve it up: Drizzle that garlic butter sauce over the salmon like it’s liquid gold. And boom, you’ve just made restaurant-quality salmon at home.

This salmon comes out so tender and flaky, with a sauce that’s rich but not overpowering. Serve it over a bed of quinoa or with some roasted asparagus for a meal that’s as nutritious as it is delicious. And hey, if you’re feeling extra, a glass of white wine wouldn’t hurt either.
