Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 lemon, juiced and zested
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1 cucumber, sliced
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 red onion, sliced
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/2 cup kalamata olives
• Extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar for dressing

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped herbs, olive oil and salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
3. Place the chicken in the bowl with the marinade, turning to coat both sides. Marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or overnight if possible.
4. When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the marinade and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
5. Meanwhile, prepare the salad by combining the chopped romaine lettuce, sliced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and kalamata olives.
6. For the dressing, combine 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil and 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar in a small bowl, whisking until well-combined.
7. Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into strips and add it to the salad.
8. Drizzle the salad with the dressing and toss well to coat everything.
9. Serve and enjoy!
