Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • For the dressing:
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place chicken breasts in a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Bake chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then shred or dice.
  4. While the chicken bakes, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon of oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and Kalamata olives.
  6. Add the cooked chicken to the salad.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  8. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley over the top.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Greek Chicken Salad!

Notes

  • You can grill the chicken instead of baking it for a different flavor.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or artichoke hearts.
  • For a creamier dressing, you can add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt.
