Grill or Bread the Chicken
If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breast with olive oil, and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. If breading, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Dredge the chicken breast in olive oil, then coat it with bread crumbs, pressing to adhere. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

Combine and Serve
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Add the sliced chicken on top of the mixed vegetables in the salad bowl. Add black olives and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately with your choice of dressing.
