Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cucumber, diced
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
• 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Method

1. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with oregano, salt, and black pepper.
2. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
3. In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and kalamata olives.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil.
5. Add the grilled chicken slices to the bowl with the vegetables. Drizzle the lemon and olive oil dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.
6. Top with crumbled feta cheese and serve immediately.
