Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 cups mixed salad greens
• 1 medium cucumber, sliced
• 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.25 cup black olives, pitted
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 4 pieces warm pita bread
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the chicken marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the used marinade.

Step 4

Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 5

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the salad by combining the mixed salad greens, sliced cucumber, red onion, cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and black olives in a large bowl. Toss gently to mix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Greek yogurt to make the salad dressing. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.

Step 7

Warm the pita bread by placing it on the grill for about 30 seconds per side or wrapping it in foil and heating it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Slice the grilled chicken and serve it alongside the salad and warm pita bread. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
