Step 1
Pound the 4 chicken breasts to even thickness, about 1/2 inch. Season both sides with the 1 tsp salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
Step 2
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the chicken with 2 tbsp of the olive oil.
Step 3
Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, until charred and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
Step 4
While the chicken rests, slice the 2 tomatoes, 1 cucumber, and 1 bell pepper into thin rounds or strips.
Step 5
In a large bowl, toss the sliced vegetables with the 2 cups mixed greens and the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Slice the rested chicken and serve over the vegetable salad. Cut the 1 lemon into wedges and squeeze over everything before serving.
