Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour over chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

3. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
4. In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and Kalamata olives.
5. In a jar, combine remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, red wine vinegar, remaining lemon juice, remaining garlic, remaining oregano, remaining salt, and remaining pepper. Shake vigorously to combine.
6. Add sliced chicken to the salad bowl and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
7. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss gently to combine, or serve dressing on the side.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Greek salad with chicken.

Notes

Store leftover components separately in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Keep dressing separate until ready to serve. Chicken can be served warm, cold, or at room temperature. For meal prep, portion salad ingredients into individual containers with dressing on the side.
