Marinade for Chicken

Dressing

Method

Prepare the Marinade

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

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

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over the chicken, seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

  2. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, discard the marinade, and grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Cook the Bacon

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the applewood smoked bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let drain on paper towels. Chop into bite-sized pieces.

    In a large salad bowl, add mixed greens, sliced cherry tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, sliced black olives, croutons, and both types of shredded cheese.
