It’s a refreshing, protein-packed meal that’s as nutritious as it is delicious, and I love how the tangy feta and briny olives play off the juicy chicken.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 1 lb total, patted dry
  • 1/2 cup rich extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried oregano, preferably Greek
  • 1/2 tsp finely ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 375°F.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, black pepper, and sea salt to create a marinade.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they’re fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature for maximum flavor.
  4. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior has nice grill marks. Tip: Don’t move the chicken around too much while grilling to get those perfect marks.
  5. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
  6. In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and red onion.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil and red wine vinegar to make the dressing.
  8. Add the sliced chicken to the salad bowl, drizzle with the dressing, and toss gently to combine. Tip: Tossing the salad gently ensures all the ingredients are evenly coated without crushing the delicate feta.
  9. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Tip: For an extra touch, serve with warm pita bread on the side.

Fresh from the bowl, this salad is a symphony of textures—crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and tender chicken—all brought together by the creamy feta and tangy dressing. It’s a dish that’s as satisfying to eat as it is beautiful to look at, perfect for a sunny afternoon lunch or a light dinner.
