- Heat the grill to medium-high. Season the chicken with fresh ground pepper, oregano, and salt. Grill the chicken covered, turning halfway through until golden. Make sure it's fully cooked and no meat is coming out pink, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
- While the chicken is being grilled, whip up the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar. Season it with salt and pepper.
- Prepare two salad bowls and fill them with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and avocado. Top with sliced chicken and drizzle the dressing before serving.
