Steps

1. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Coat the chicken breast with the marinade and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
4. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
5. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad by combining mixed greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and olives in a large bowl.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and water until smooth. Adjust consistency with more water if needed.
7. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
