Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Greek seasoning
• 6 cups romaine lettuce
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 0.75 cups crumbled feta cheese
• 0.5 cups kalamata olives
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken. Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle both sides evenly with the Greek seasoning.

Step 2

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked and have an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 3

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad base. Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.

Step 4

Slice the cucumber into half-moons, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion. Add these vegetables to the salad bowl along with the kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 5

Make the dressing by whisking together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.

Step 6

Drizzle the dressing over the prepared salad and toss gently to combine.

Step 7

Top the salad with the sliced chicken and serve immediately. Enjoy your vibrant and delicious Greek Seasoning Chicken Salad!
