MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN SALAD

Loaded Mediterranean Chicken Salad is another meal in a salad! Full of Greek flavours , healthy, delicious and a 5-ingredient dressing that doubles as a marinade!

Serves 2

Ingredients

 
*2 large skinless boneless chicken breasts
*1 1/2 cup mushrooms

Dressing
*1/4 cup Olive Oil
*1/4 cup lemon juice (juice of 1 lemon)
*1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
*1 tsp minced garlic
*1 tsp dried oregano
*1 tsp salt
*Cracked pepper

For The Salad:
*2 cups romaine lettuce leaves, washed and shredded
*4-6 cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
*1 corn steamed, kernels cut off
*½ red onion, sliced thinly
*1 cup Greek Feta cheese, cubed

Directions

Whisk together all the dressing ingredients in large, shallow dish. Pour out ½ cup to use as the dressing; reserve in the refrigerator for later to use as the dressing.

Add the chicken and mushrooms to the marinade in the shallow dish and evenly coat; cover and allow to marinade for 30 minutes.

While chicken and mushrooms are marinading, prepare all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl and mix.

Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken and mushrooms from the marinade and add to the pan along with any marinade left over in the bowl. Grill or sear until the chicken and mushrooms are golden on the outside and cooked through.

Remove chicken from the pan and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice thickly and arrange over salad.
Drizzle with the remaining dressing, and serve!
