Season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before dicing it into bite-sized cubes; allow it to cool completely for a cold salad.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and the remaining dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Add the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and rinsed chickpeas to the bowl.
Fold in the cooled chicken and fresh chopped parsley, tossing well to coat everything in the dressing.
Top with the crumbled feta cheese and serve immediately or refrigerate for a chilled meal.
