This Greek Salad with Grilled Chicken is a refreshing, low-carb meal that's perfect for a light lunch. The combination of juicy grilled chicken, crisp vegetables, and tangy feta cheese creates a delightful balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cucumber - 1 medium, diced
• Cherry tomatoes - 200 grams, halved
• Red onion - 1/4 medium, thinly sliced
• Kalamata olives - 50 grams, pitted
• Feta cheese - 50 grams, crumbled
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Place the chicken breast in a resealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over it. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the salad by combining diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley in a large bowl.
4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 75°C).
5. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
6. Serve the salad on plates, topped with the grilled chicken slices.
