In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed chicken, drained and rinsed chickpeas, mixed greens, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, diced green bell pepper, and halved kalamata olives.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to prepare the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese and gently toss again.
