INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1.5 oz Feta Cheese
1/2 cup Chickpeas (cooked)
1/2 cup Cucumber (chopped)
1 medium Tomato (diced)
1/4 cup Red Onion (thinly sliced)
1/2 cup Bell Pepper (chopped)
5 Kalamata Olives (pitted)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Begin by marinating the feta: in a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, and dried oregano. Cube the feta cheese and gently toss it in the mixture; set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken over medium-high heat until thoroughly cooked and it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, about 6-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, let it rest and then chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine chopped cucumber, diced tomato, thinly sliced red onion, chopped bell pepper, and pitted Kalamata olives.
Add the cooked chickpeas to the vegetable mixture.
Gently toss in the marinated feta cubes and chopped grilled chicken.
Finally, sprinkle fresh parsley over the salad for an extra burst of flavor and color. Toss lightly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Mediterranean chopped salad.
