Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 C lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp parsley, fresh, chopped
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 2 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • pepper, to taste
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, skinless, boneless
  • 4 C romaine lettuce, washed and dried
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/3 C Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • lemon wedges, for serving
  • 1/2 C feta cheese, for serving

Instructions

  1. Whisk together all of the marinade/dressing ingredients in a large jug. Pour out HALF of the marinade into a large, shallow dish. Refrigerate the remaining marinade to use as the dressing later.
  2. Add the chicken to the marinade in the bowl; marinade chicken for 15-30 minutes (or up to two hours in the refrigerator if time allows). While waiting for the chicken, prepare all of the salad ingredients and mix in a large salad bowl.
  3. Once chicken is ready, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a grill pan or a grill plate over medium-high heat. Grill chicken on both sides until browned and completely cooked through.
  4. Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes; slice and arrange over salad. Drizzle salad with the remaining UNTOUCHED dressing. Serve with lemon wedges.
