INGREDIENTS
3 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
3 oz Herb-Marinated Feta Cheese
1/2 cup Chickpeas (cooked)
1/2 cup Chopped Cucumber
1 cup Halved Cherry Tomatoes
1/4 cup Chopped Red Onion
6 Kalamata Olives
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
PREPARATION
Prepare the herb marinade by combining lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Coat the feta cheese with half of the herb marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the rest of the salad.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a pinch of oregano, then grill it over medium-high heat until cooked through (about 5-6 minutes per side). Slice the grilled chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, chopped cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, red onion, Kalamata olives, and fresh parsley.
Add the marinated feta (either in large chunks or crumbled) to the salad.
Drizzle the remaining herb marinade over the salad and gently toss to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Plate the salad and top with the sliced grilled chicken. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, vibrant Mediterranean flavors.
