The key to making a delicious Greek salad is to use fresh, high-quality ingredients.

• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 head lettuce, washed and chopped
• 1 large cucumber, sliced
• 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
• 1/2 red onion, sliced
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped

To make the grilled chicken, season the chicken breasts with oregano, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat and cook the chicken, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss together the chopped lettuce, sliced cucumber, chopped tomatoes, and sliced red onion. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss to coat. Top with the sliced grilled chicken, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped Kalamata olives. Serve immediately and enjoy!
