Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
Grill the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, cooked quinoa, and avocado slices. Toss gently to mix.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Top the salad with the grilled chicken strips and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if using.
