• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 35 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 head of romaine lettuce, chopped
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cucumber, sliced
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
• 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 garlic clove, minced

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
2. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
3. In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic to create the dressing.
5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to combine.
6. Top the salad with the grilled chicken pieces.
7. Serve immediately with a side of tzatziki and warm pita bread.

• For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil, oregano, and some lemon juice for at least an hour before grilling.
• Feel free to add or substitute vegetables based on what you have on hand, such as bell peppers or radishes.
• If you’re short on time, use pre-cooked grilled chicken from the deli section.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Be sure to keep the dressing separate to avoid soggy salad.

This Greek Salad with Grilled Chicken pairs beautifully with a glass of sparkling water or a crisp white wine. Complement the meal with pita bread and a side of creamy tzatziki for a complete Mediterranean feast.
