This Mediterranean-style chicken salad is bright, fresh, and packed with flavor. Juicy, seasoned chicken is paired with tangy feta, crisp veggies, and a simple vinaigrette, making it an ideal option for a nutritious lunch or quick dinner.
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Boneless, skinless chicken breasts | 2 (about 1 lb) |
| Feta cheese, crumbled | ½ cup |
| Mixed salad greens | 6 cups |
| Cherry tomatoes, halved | 1 cup |
| Cucumber, sliced | 1 |
| Red onion, thinly sliced | ¼ |
| Kalamata olives, pitted | ½ cup |
| Olive oil | ¼ cup |
| Red wine vinegar | 2 tablespoons |
| Dried oregano | ½ teaspoon |
| Salt and pepper | To taste |
Instructions:
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken breasts for 6–8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through. Allow them to rest briefly before slicing into strips.
Step 2: Build the Salad
In a large salad bowl, toss together the salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and Kalamata olives. Add the sliced chicken and sprinkle crumbled feta on top.
Step 3: Prepare the Vinaigrette
In a small mixing bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk or shake well until fully blended.
Step 4: Toss and Serve
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
