Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1 medium cucumber, diced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
• 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 4 pieces pita bread
• 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 4

In a large salad bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 5

Warm the pita bread by placing it on the grill for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly toasted.

Step 6

Arrange the salad on serving plates and top each plate with sliced grilled chicken.

Step 7

Serve with warm pita bread on the side. Optionally, add a dollop of tzatziki sauce for extra flavor.
