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.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the 4 cups mixed lettuce, 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved), and 0.5 cup kalamata olives.
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.
Step 4
Add the sliced chicken to the salad bowl, pour the dressing over, and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Step 5
Serve immediately, garnished with extra oregano if desired.
