Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken thighs boneless
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced
  • ½ avocado cubed
  • 6 cherry tomatoes halved
  • 24 Kalamata olives
  • 1 small cucumber sliced
  • ½ head romaine lettuce chopped
  • ¾ cup feta cheese crumbled

Dressing

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 garlic cloves minced

Optional Toppings

  • broccoli florets
  • green olives
  • hard-boiled eggs
  • kale
  • spinach or your favorite sprouts

Instructions
 

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken thighs for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until golden and fully cooked. Let rest, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • Slice the onion, cucumber, and tomatoes. Cube the avocado and chop the romaine lettuce. Place all the veggies in a large bowl along with olives and feta cheese.
  • Whisk together the olive oil, mayonnaise, vinegar, oregano, and garlic in a small bowl to make the dressing.
  • Toss the salad with dressing. Top with chicken and any extras. Serve immediately.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • You can swap the chicken thighs for boneless breasts or even grilled shrimp.
  • For a lower-carb version, skip the avocado and load up on leafy greens like kale or spinach.
  • The dressing also works great as a dip for raw veggies or a drizzle over roasted potatoes.
