Instructions
Cook the Chicken:

- Coat the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook for 20 minutes in the oven or 6-8 minutes per side on a skillet until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Let it rest, then slice into strips or cubes.
Prepare the Dressing:
- In a blender or food processor, blend avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, and buttermilk until smooth.
- Adjust thickness by adding more buttermilk or water as needed.
Assemble the Salad:

- Add the sliced chicken on top.
- Drizzle with the avocado lime ranch dressing, or serve it on the side.
Notes
For a healthier version, choose grilled chicken instead of nuggets, and opt for a lighter dressing like Light Italian or Zesty Apple Cider Vinaigrette. You can also add extra veggies or swap the bacon for turkey bacon to reduce calories and fat.
