Ingredients

• Greek Yogurt – for marinating the chicken
• Olive Oil – for marinating the chicken and for the salad dressing
• Lemons – Juice for marinating the chicken
• Seasonings – garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper

• Tomatoes – for topping the salad
• Cucumbers – for topping the salad
• Kalmata Olives – for topping the salad

How To Make Grilled Chicken Greek Salad

In a large bowl combine all the ingredients for the chicken marinade. Add in chicken breasts and mix until chicken is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes – 2 hours. 

Preheat grill to medium heat and cook chicken breasts until internal temperature reaches at least 165F. About 8 minutes per side. 

In a small jar combine all ingredients for the Greek Dressing. Shake to combine and set aside. 

Assemble your salad by combining chopped lettuce, cooked orzo, sliced tomatoes, diced cucumbers, kalmata olives, and feta cheese. Top with sliced chicken and a drizzle of the Greek dressing and enjoy

How to Meal Prep the Salad

I love to meal prep this in jars by layering in this order: salad dressing, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, orzo, feta cheese, chicken, and lettuce.
