Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, sliced
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper

Salad

  • 1 head Romaine Lettuce, chopped
  • 1 Bell Pepper, sliced (I used parts of 3 different color bell peppers)
  • 1 Italian Cucumber, partially pealed and sliced
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup Kalamata Olives
  • 1/2 cup Red Onions, sliced
  • 8 ounce Feta Cheese Block, sliced

Balsamic Vinaigrette

  • 1/2 cup Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

Chicken

  1. Slice the chicken breast in 1/4 inch strips. Season with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  2. Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook thoroughly, stirring occasionally for about 7-8 minutes.

  3. Once cooked, set aside on a plate.

Salad

  1. Cut off the first inch of the tip of the Romaine lettuce and remove the outer 2 or 3 leaves. Quarter the head of lettuce by slicing it from the root end to the tip, then turn it 1/4 turn and slice it again. Now chop the lettuce in 1/2 inch pieces. Be sure to mix the lettuce so the darker top pieces and the lighter bottom pieces are mixed.

  2. Place even amounts of lettuce on 4 plates. Add some bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, red onions, and feta cheese on each plate. Top each plate with some of the cooked chicken.

Balsamic Vinaigrette

  1. In a mixing bowl, mix the balsamic vinegar, oregano, parsley, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper with a whisk. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a thin stream while gently whisking the entire time until all the olive oil has been added to the bowl.

  2. Drizzle some of the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and chicken.
