Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk all dressing ingredients together. Then pour the dressing into a jar or bottle and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Place the chicken on a plate and season with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and oregano. Rub well to coat on both sides.
  • Heat a grill pan or an outdoor grill on medium-high heat and grease it with a bit of olive oil. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and no longer pink on the inside. (If using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature has to reach 75C/165F). 
  • Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. 
  • In a large bowl or platter, add baby spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and olives. 
  • Place the sliced chicken over the veggies and top with crumbled feta cheese.
  • Pour the dressing over and gently toss to coat.
