Creating Green Goddess Chicken Salad can be effortless if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Chicken: If not using pre-cooked chicken, season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Let it cool before shredding or dicing.
2. Prepare the Greens: In a large bowl, add the mixed salad greens as the base of your salad.
3. Add Vegetables: Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced avocado, chopped green onions, and herbs (parsley and basil).
4. Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt (or sour cream), mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
5. Combine Chicken and Dressing: Add the cooked chicken to the vegetable mixture. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is coated evenly.
6. Taste and Adjust: Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
7. Serve: Divide the salad into individual bowls or plates. Optionally, garnish with extra herbs or avocado slices.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible salad effortlessly.
