How to Make Grilled Chicken Salad

  1. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This is your marinade.
  3. Using a sharp knife, cut 3-4 diagonal slits into each chicken breast. This helps the chicken cook evenly and absorb the marinade.
  4. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).
  5. Grill the chicken for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove the chicken from the grill, cover it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting into strips.
  7. While the chicken rests, prepare the salad by combining mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese in a large bowl.
  8. In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper for the dressing.
  9. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut it into bite-sized strips.
  10. Add the chicken strips to the salad.
  11. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
