    Greek chicken salad in a bowl with slices of chicken, lettuce, tomato, red onion and lemon wedges.
    MetricUS Standard

    Ingredients

    • 600 g chicken breast, pounded (£2.65)
    • Juice of a lemon (£0.30)
    • 6 salad tomatoes, thinly sliced (£0.95)
    • 50 g black olives (£1.00/2)=(£0.50)
    • 2 romaine lettuce, washed and sliced (£1.09)
    • 1 cucumber, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced (£0.89)
    • 1 red onion, thinly sliced (£0.15)
    • 1 garlic clove, minced (£0.39)
    • 100 g feta, crumbled (£0.89)

    Cupboard Essentials:

    • ½ tbsp + 1 tsp dried oregano
    • ½ tbsp mixed herbs
    • 5 tbsp olive oil
    • Salt & Pepper

    Method

    • Prepare the chicken breast by pounding the thickest part of the breast to reduce the thickness of the breast.
    • Start by marinating the chicken breasts in ½ tbsp of oregano, ½ tbsp of mixed herbs, 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, juice of half a lemon & a pinch of salt and pepper. Combine in a bowl and pop in the fridge for one hour.
    • After the chicken has marinated for an hour, preheat a non-stick frying pan over a high heat, then add the chicken into the pan. Cook for 5 minutes on each side, adding a splash of water into the pan to deglaze any sticky bits. This also adds a nice colour to the chicken.
    • To make the dressing, combine 4 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil with the juice of half a lemon, the minced garlic, 1 tsp oregano and a pinch of salt and pepper.
    • When your chicken is ready, slice along the breast into bite-sized pieces. Toss the salad dressing with the chopped romaine lettuce, tomato, cucumber, olives and red onion.
    • Finally, serve up the salad and top with the sliced chicken and crumbled feta. Summer in a bowl!
