In a small bowl, whisk together half the lemon juice, half the olive oil, the dried oregano, garlic powder, and half the salt and pepper. Toss the chicken breast in the mixture to coat thoroughly.
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Flip and cook for 6 to 7 minutes more until the center is opaque and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
In a large bowl, whisk the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and red wine vinegar with the rest of the salt and pepper. Add the romaine, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion and toss to coat.
Slice the rested chicken breast into thin strips. Arrange the dressed salad on a plate, top with the warm chicken slices, and serve with the pita halves.
