Spray the skillet with olive oil, remove chicken from marinade (discarding excess) and cook chicken over medium high heat for 3 minutes.

Flip and cook an additional 2 minutes, or until chicken is browned and cooked through. Set aside on a cutting board to rest while you assemble the salad.
-
In 2 bowls or meal prep containers, divide the lettuce then top each with ½ the avocado, strawberries, and red onion.
-
Thinly slice the chicken breast and add to the salad.
-
Drizzle each with ½ the reserved dressing and top with ½ the slivered almonds.

Store reserved dressing and almonds separately and top with both when ready to eat.
