INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 medium Cucumber (~100g)
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (approx 150g)
1/4 small Red Onion (~25g)
3 Kalamata Olives
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Oregano)
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, olive oil, and chopped fresh herbs to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish, and pour the herb-citrus marinade over it. Allow it to marinate for at least 20 minutes, turning once for even flavor absorption.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, grill the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the salad. Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and combine in a bowl with Kalamata olives.
Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the salad, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired. Toss gently to combine.
Once the chicken is done, allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Plate the grilled chicken alongside the fresh Mediterranean salad and garnish with additional chopped herbs if desired.
