Cook the Orzo:

Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken breasts with smoked paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and pepper.

Assemble the Salad:
In a large bowl, combine the cooked orzo, sliced grilled chicken, green onions, chopped cilantro, and cubed avocado. Drizzle with the cilantro lime vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.
