Ingredients
  

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 English cucumber , sliced into half-moons
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbles
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create the marinade.
  • Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with the marinade and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (204°C).
  • Place chicken on the grill and cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Transfer chicken to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 5 minutes to retain juices before slicing into 1/2-inch strips.
  • Combine mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the balsamic vinaigrette to the vegetables and toss gently to coat.
  • Apportion the salad mixture onto four plates and top each with a sliced chicken breast and 1 tablespoon of feta cheese.
