How to Make Grilled Greek Chicken Salad

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Place 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and turn to coat.
  4. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
  5. While the chicken marinates, prepare the vegetables. In a large bowl, combine 1 cucumber (diced), 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes (halved), and 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced).
  6. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  7. Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade.
  8. Grill chicken for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer pink, turning once halfway through.
  9. Transfer grilled chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
  10. Add the sliced chicken to the bowl with the cucumber mixture and toss gently to combine.
  11. Serve the salad immediately on a bed of mixed greens (optional).
  12. Top with 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese and 1/4 cup Kalamata olives (halved).
  13. Drizzle with your favorite Greek salad dressing (or a simple lemon vinaigrette) before serving.
