  3. Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Let the grilled chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice into bite-sized pieces.

  6. Top each bowl with avocado slices and a dollop of yogurt.
  7. Serve immediately and let everyone customize their bowls.
