Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat.

Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and secret spice to taste. Add to skillet and cook, flipping once, until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Let cool before dicing into bite-size pieces.

To assemble the salad, place romaine lettuce in a large bowl; top with chicken, mozzarella, tomatoes, avocado and basil. Pour balsamic reduction on top of the salad and gently toss to combine.
