Tossed in a zesty, homemade lemon-oregano vinaigrette, this salad balances the salty bite of feta cheese with the briny goodness of kalamata olives. It is an ideal, protein-packed choice for a healthy lunch or a light, satisfying dinner that brings restaurant-quality flavors directly to your table.

Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved lengthwise
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1 large English cucumber, diced
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a large shallow bowl.
Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until charred and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove chicken from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
In a large serving bowl, combine the chopped romaine, diced cucumber, and olives.
Top the salad with the sliced grilled chicken and crumbled feta cheese.
Toss gently and serve immediately.

Notes

For the best results, use a block of feta cheese and crumble it yourself to avoid anti-caking agents. You can prepare and grill the chicken ahead of time for easier meal prep. Store the dressing separately from the greens if you are not planning to serve the salad immediately to keep the leaves crisp.
