Pound the boneless skinless chicken breast to about 3/8 of an inch thick using a meat mallet, covering it with plastic wrap to avoid splatter.

Season the chicken with pink Himalayan salt, fresh cracked black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Heat a pan to medium heat and add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Place the seasoned chicken in the hot pan and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.

Prepare the avocado by cutting it in half around the pit, removing the pit, and spooning out the flesh to dice it.

Hard-boil about 4 eggs by placing them in a pot, covering with cold water, bringing to a boil, salting the water, turning off the heat, and letting them sit for 10 minutes before transferring to an ice bath.

Cut the hard-boiled eggs into wedges after they have cooled.

Cook a pound of bacon on two sheet pans in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 15 minutes, checking for crispiness at around 10-11 minutes and adjusting time as needed.
