A delightful Mediterranean-inspired salad featuring marinated chicken, fresh vegetables, and a zesty lemon herb dressing.
Prepare the marinade by combining the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Marinate the chicken for up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain juices.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Shake the dressing in a sealed jar for easy mixing.
Assemble the salad by combining the lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta in a large salad bowl.
Chill the salad ingredients before assembling for a refreshing dish.
Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it on top of the salad. Drizzle with the dressing before serving.
Serve immediately for the best taste and presentation.
