Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups baby spinach
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 large cucumber, diced
• 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
• 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives, and feta cheese.

Step 5

To serve, place a generous portion of the salad on each plate. Slice the rested chicken and arrange it on top of the salad.

Step 6

Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the chicken and salad or serve it on the side for dipping.

Step 7

Optional: Garnish with additional oregano or lemon wedges for extra flavor.
