Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pieces whole grain sandwich rolls
• 4 tablespoons hummus
• 1 cup mixed salad greens
• 1 medium tomato, sliced
• 0.5 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
• 0.25 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing the grill.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Once heated, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is no longer pink inside.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 6

While the chicken is resting, lightly toast the sandwich rolls on the grill for about 1 minute cut-side down if desired.

Step 7

Spread 2 tablespoons of hummus on the inside of each toasted roll.

Step 8

Layer each roll with mixed salad greens, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and red onion slices.

Step 9

Slice the grilled chicken into strips and divide evenly between the two rolls.

Step 10

Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top of the chicken slices.

Step 11

Close the sandwiches and serve while warm. Enjoy your flavorful Mediterranean Diet Classic Grilled Chicken Sandwich!
