Prepare the tequila lime chicken. Place all of the tequila lime marinade ingredients into a large zip top food storage bag along with the cut up chicken. Let the chicken marinade for a few hours, or overnight. Use a colander or a slotted spoon to remove the chicken from the marinade. Place the chicken into a nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat until cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Set aside.Prepare the avocado lime dressing. Place all of the dressing ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. NOTE: This will make a thick dressing. If you would like to thin it out, add a little extra orange juice or water to the dressing.Assemble the salad. Place all of the salad ingredients into a large bowl along with the cooked chicken. Top with avocado lime dressing.
