INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Tomato
1 cup Chopped Cucumber
1 quarter Red Onion
5 Kalamata Olives
1 oz Feta Cheese
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Begin by preheating your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, a half of the basil, and a drizzle of olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper if desired for a quick citrus-herb marinade.
Lightly coat the 5 oz chicken breast with the marinade. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Grill the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior shows a nice char.
While the chicken is grilling, chop the tomato, cucumber, and red onion. In a bowl, combine these with Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese.
Toss the salad with the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh basil for added flavor, ensuring all ingredients are well mixed.
Once the chicken is done, slice it and serve over or beside the fresh Mediterranean salad.
Finish with an extra sprinkle of basil or a light drizzle of olive oil if desired. Enjoy your vibrant, nutrient-packed meal!
