- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 medium-sized Cucumber, diced
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 medium-sized Red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and let sit for 10–15 minutes while you prepare the salad.
Grill the chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, remove the chicken and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of oregano, and a pinch of salt and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Top the salad with the grilled chicken strips and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
Divide the salad among serving plates and enjoy!
