Ingredients

To Marinate Chicken

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (see note before you begin preparing this recipe)
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried thyme

For Salad

3 Romaine lettuce hearts chopped
2 tomatoes chopped
1/2 English cucumber chopped
1/4 cup Kalamata olives
4 ounces block feta chopped
1/2 cup pita chips

Greek Salad Dressing

2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dijon mustard

Instructions

In a reusable container, whisk together the ingredients for the chicken marinade. Add the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for between 1 hour and 24 hours.
After marinating, place the chicken in an ove safe container, cover, and bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until an instant read thermometer reads 165 degrees.
While waiting for your chicken to cook, prepare the ingredients for the salad and the salad dressing. Layer the chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and feta cheese, leaving the pita chips on the side for serving.
Whisk together the ingredients for the Greek Dressing and set aside. (Note that it will need to be mixed again before topping the salad.)
Add the chicken to the top of the salad and serve with the dressing on the side, allowing guests to dress their own salad.

Notes

This recipe takes a little extra time because we both marinate and bake the chicken. If you would like to speed things up a little, you can grill the chicken. Additionally, the chicken can be made the day before as it is good hot or cold on this salad.
