Ingredients

For the chicken

  • 1 pounds boneless skinless free-range chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

For the salad

  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 cup red onions chopped
  • ½ cup black olives sliced
  • 1 medium cucumber diced

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

For the chicken breast

  • In a large bowl combine all the ingredients for the chicken. Toss everything together and marinate for at least 15 minutes to 1 hour.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium high heat. Add the chicken and discard the marinade.
  • Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until the chicken breast reaches the internal temperature of 165F.
  • When it’s done, place it in the cutting board and let it cool before dicing.

For the salad

  • In a large bowl, toss together the red bell pepper, red onions, black olives, cucumber and feta cheese.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad mixture, and toss. Top with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • You may want to keep the dressing separate in a little dressing container to keep the salad fresher during the week.  
  • Don't skip marinating the chicken as it adds a ton of flavour to the chicken.
  • Make sure you chop everything into small pieces so you can have a bite with everything. 
  • To store: Store the salad in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container. 
  • To freeze: I don't recommend freezing the salad but you can freeze the chicken for up to 3 months.
