Season the chicken breast on both sides with the dried oregano, half the salt, and half the black pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 7 minutes, flip, and cook for 7 minutes more until the center reaches its safe temperature. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and the remaining salt and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens, sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Transfer to a plate.
Let the chicken rest for 3 minutes, then slice it into strips. Arrange the chicken over the salad, drizzle with the vinaigrette, and serve with the pita on the side.
