Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 medium cucumber, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 2 lemons (about ¼ cup)
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Let it rest before slicing.
  3. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken cooks, chop cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  5. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine chopped vegetables with sliced chicken and crumbled feta cheese.
  6. Dress It Up: Drizzle dressing over the salad just before serving and toss gently.
