Make
- If making chicken on the grill: Preheat grill to 500F (260C) degrees, keeping one part on higher heat and another part on lower heat. Clean grates and brush with some oil. Sear chicken on each side for ~3 minutes (keeping cover closed). Move to lower heat and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through) with cover closed.
- If making chicken on the stovetop: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush pan with some oil and then add chicken to hot grill pan and sear until cooked through, ~3 minutes on both sides.
- Spoon tabbouleh over avocado halves and drizzle with creamy cucumber dressing. Slice chicken and serve with avocados on the side. Enjoy!
