Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium Cucumber, sliced into half-moons
• 0.75 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
• 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Pour this marinade over the chicken breasts in a shallow dish. Allow the chicken to marinate for 15 minutes while you prepare the salad ingredients.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

Step 3

In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, Kalamata olives, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 5

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Top the salad with the sliced chicken, fresh parsley, and fresh dill.

Step 6

Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Herbed Greek Chicken Salad!
