Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Greek Salad with Chicken
  1. Begin by marinating your Greek chicken breast for at least 30 minutes in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano. Preheat your grill to 400°F (200°C) and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest.
  2. While the chicken is grilling, wash and chop the ingredients for your salad. Place a generous amount of chopped lettuce in a large bowl as your base. Dice ripe tomatoes and slice cucumbers.
  3. Next, sprinkle in the Kalamata olives and crumble feta cheese over the fresh vegetable mixture.
  4. For the dressing, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper in a jar. Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until well blended.
  5. Slice the grilled chicken into strips and layer it over the salad. Drizzle the dressing over the top and gently toss the salad with tongs.
  6. Serve your Greek Salad with Chicken immediately for the freshest experience. Consider adding warm pita bread or hummus for a complete meal.
