INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 oz Feta Cheese
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup Cucumber (sliced)
1/4 cup Red Onion (sliced)
1 Lemon
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Herbs
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by preparing the marinade: in a small bowl, combine the juice and zest of the lemon, olive oil, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour in the marinade. Ensure the chicken is well-coated and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the salad. In a mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and red onion.
Crumble the feta cheese over the vegetables and gently toss together. Squeeze additional lemon juice over the salad if desired, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the chicken is cooked and has a nice char, slice it against the grain and serve it alongside the crisp vegetable salad.
