Method

Marinating the Chicken

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

2

Marinate the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

3

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).

4

Grill the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Salad

5

Prepare the Vegetables

While the chicken is grilling, wash and prepare the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Slice the cucumber and red onion thinly.

6

Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Toss gently to mix.

7

Add the Chicken

Slice the grilled chicken and place it on top of the salad mixture.

Making the Dressing

8

Prepare the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until combined.

9

Dress the Salad

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
