Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 3
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden brown color.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Step 5
In a large salad bowl, assemble the salad by combining the chopped romaine lettuce, sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and black olives.
Step 6
Top the salad with the sliced chicken, and drizzle with the dairy-free tzatziki sauce.
Step 7
Add a handful of pita chips for crunch and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Step 8
Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients well and serve immediately.
