Directions

Step 1

In a shallow dish, mix together extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in the dish, turning to coat them in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor, turning occasionally.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place it on the grill.

Step 5

Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 7

While the chicken is resting, lightly toast the whole grain burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

Step 8

To assemble the sandwiches, place a romaine lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, then add the grilled chicken breast.

Step 9

Top each chicken breast with slices of tomato, cucumber, red onion, and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.

Step 10

Finish with another lettuce leaf and the top half of the bun.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and flavorful Mediterranean Diet Chick-fil-A Style Grilled Chicken Sandwich!
