Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Season the 2 chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the 4 cups mixed lettuce, 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved), and 0.5 cup kalamata olives.

  3. Step 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, and 0.5 tsp dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Step 4

    Add the sliced chicken to the salad bowl, pour the dressing over, and toss gently to coat everything evenly.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately, garnished with extra oregano if desired.
