Grilled chicken breast is leaner, while canned chicken is budget-friendly.

Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.

If the chicken breasts are thick, butterfly them open.

Preheat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a hexclad pan over medium-high heat.

Cook the chicken breasts for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown color.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F.

Chop the red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.

Slice half of the English cucumber into bite-sized pieces.

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half.

Chop fresh dill, parsley, basil, or oregano as desired.

Chop the red onion into batons or skip it if preferred.

Soak the chopped onion in room temperature water for a few minutes to reduce its raw edge, if desired.

Combine all the chopped vegetables in a bowl without lettuce.

Slice the avocado and add it last to avoid mushiness.

In a blender, combine garlic, tahini paste, water, and fresh lemon juice to make the dressing.

Blend until smooth and creamy.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
