Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 large)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon, juice and zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 large English cucumber
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 small red onion
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 4 oz feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Combine 2 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, 1 tsp oregano, salt, and pepper in a dish. Add chicken, coat, and marinate 10 minutes.
  2. Sear chicken in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temp reads 165°F. Rest 5 minutes.
  3. Whisk 1/4 cup olive oil, red wine vinegar, 1 tsp oregano, Dijon, salt, and pepper for dressing. Toss cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and olives with dressing.
  4. Slice chicken against the grain and arrange over the salad. Top with crumbled feta and serve.

Notes

Chicken needs 5 minutes of resting time after cooking, so plan for about 32 minutes total start to finish. Pound the chicken lightly if the breasts are very uneven to help them cook uniformly.
