Ingredients

For the salad:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 8 oz each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, or your choice)
1 medium cucumber, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup pitted black olives (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

For the dressing:

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Rub the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts. Once cooked, set them aside to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, black olives (if using), and fresh parsley.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients: extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well coated.
Divide the salad into two serving plates.
Top each salad with the grilled chicken slices.
Enjoy your tasty low-carb, high-protein Greek salad!
