🫒 2 tbsp olive oil

🧄 3 garlic cloves, minced

🌿 1 tsp dried parsley

🌿 1 tsp Italian seasoning

🧂 ½ tsp salt

⚫ ½ tsp black pepper

🍋 1 tbsp lemon juice

For the Salad

🥬 3 cups green leaf lettuce

🥑 1 large avocado, sliced

🍅 2 medium tomatoes, sliced

🥒 1 small cucumber, sliced

🧅 ¼ red onion, thinly sliced

🧀 ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

🌿 Extra parsley for garnish

Dressing

🫒 2 tbsp olive oil

🍋 1 tbsp lemon juice

🧂 Pinch of salt

⚫ Pinch of black pepper

Instructions 👩‍🍳

In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, parsley, Italian

seasoning, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Coat the

chicken breasts evenly and let marinate for 10–15

minutes.

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook

the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown

and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for

5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.

Arrange lettuce on a large serving plate. Add sliced

avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta

cheese around the plate.

Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for

the dressing. Drizzle lightly over the salad.

Place the sliced grilled chicken on the plate and spoon

any pan juices over the top. Garnish with parsley and

extra black pepper before serving.

Helpful Notes 🌟

Swap feta for goat cheese or mozzarella pearls for a

different flavor profile.

Add toasted nuts or seeds for extra crunch.

This salad pairs well with balsamic vinaigrette or a

creamy avocado dressing.
