Greek Salad with Chicken

This Greek Salad with Chicken is super easy to make. I made a simple marinade for the chicken as well as a homemade Greek salad dressing that is oh so savory!

I have been on a salad kick all summer and one of my favorite go-to salads has been this Greek Salad with Chicken. It’s so light and refreshing, which is perfect when it’s so hot outside!

To make this start by marinating the chicken. For the marinade mix together:

• 1/4 cup EVOO
• 1 Tbs Balsamic Vinegar
• 1 Clove Minced Garlic
• 2 tsp Dried Oregano
• 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
• 1/4 tsp Pepper
• 1/4 tsp Dijon

Place the chicken in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over it and seal it up. Refrigerate 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. The longer you marinate the more flavorful it will be.

For the homemade Greek Salad Dressing mix together:

• 1/2 cup EVOO
• 2 Tbs Balsamic Vinegar
• 1 Tbs Dried Oregano
• 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
• 1/2 tsp Pepper
• 1 Clove Minced Garlic
• 1/2 tsp Dijon

Then heat a large skillet over med/high heat. Add Chicken and cook 4-5 minutes each side or until internal temp is 165F. Remove the chicken and let it rest 5 minutes before chopping it up.

In a large bowl mix together the ingredients for the salad:

• 8 oz Romaine Lettuce chopped
• 10 oz Cherry or Grape Tomatoes
• 1 English Cucumber sliced
• 1/4 of a Red Onion sliced thin
• 1/2 cup Pitted Kalamata Olives
• 1/4 cup Feta Cheese crumbles
• The cooked Chicken chopped up

Pour your desired amount of the Greek dressing over it and mix well

I have also added Peperoncino to this salad and found it as a wonderful addition. They have a bit of a kick, so if you’re not a fan of spiciness just leave it out.

We ate this as the main meal which is 4 servings, if you are serving as a side salad it will yield more.
