Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly with the mixture. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  2. 5

    Add the Chicken

    Slice the cooked chicken breasts and add them to the salad bowl.
