- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium Cucumber, sliced into half-moons
- 0.75 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced

- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Pour this marinade over the chicken breasts in a shallow dish. Allow the chicken to marinate for 15 minutes while you prepare the salad ingredients.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, Kalamata olives, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Top the salad with the sliced chicken, fresh parsley, and fresh dill.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Herbed Greek Chicken Salad!
