🛒 Ingredients
For the Chicken:
🍗 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
🧄 2 garlic cloves, minced
🌿 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
🍋 Juice of 1/2 lemon
🫒 1 tbsp olive oil
🧂 Salt & pepper to taste
🌿 1/2 tsp dried oregano
For the Salad Bowl:
🥒 1/2 cucumber, diced
🍅 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
🧀 100g (about 3.5 oz) feta cheese, cubed
🫒 1/3 cup Kalamata olives
👨🍳 Instructions
Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat well. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours chilled).
Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, until golden and fully cooked. Rest 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
Prepare Salad Ingredients: While chicken rests, chop cucumbers, tomatoes, and cube the feta.
Assemble the Bowl: Arrange grilled chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, and olives neatly in a large bowl.
Optional Drizzle: For extra flavor, drizzle with a touch of olive oil or a quick vinaigrette made from lemon juice, oregano, olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
💡 Tips & Variations
Swap feta for grilled halloumi or plant-based cheese for a dairy-free version.
Add red onion or pepperoncini for more zest.
Serve with warm pita or over quinoa for a fuller meal.
