Instructions

1. 1.
   Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, rub the chicken breast with olive oil to ensure it remains moist during grilling. Season both sides of the chicken with the dried Italian herbs and a pinch of salt, which will enhance its flavor and give it a nice aroma as it cooks.
2. 2.
   Place the chicken breast on the grill once it’s hot. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear. If your grill is leaving dark marks too quickly, lower the heat slightly to avoid burning while ensuring that the chicken cooks through.
3. 3.
   While the chicken is grilling, prepare the avocado mash. In a small bowl, scoop out the flesh of the avocado and mash it with a fork until smooth and creamy. Add a touch of salt to taste and mix well. This will provide a creamy contrast to the grilled chicken.
4. 4.
   Check the chicken for doneness by cutting into the thickest part. If it's not cooked through, leave it on the grill for another couple of minutes. If it starts to char too much, move it to a cooler part of the grill. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes, which allows the juices to redistribute for a moister result.
5. 5.
   Serve the grilled chicken breast with the avocado mash on the side. The creamy avocado balances the savory herbs of the chicken, creating a delicious high-protein meal. Enjoy immediately to appreciate the contrast of the warm chicken and cool avocado.
