We love this light and flavorful Greek salad recipe loaded with chicken, feta cheese, and fresh vegetables.
I know this looks like a lot of ingredients, but this classic Greek salad with chicken is simple to put together and is a tasty, refreshing meal. You can prepare the dressing and chicken and chop the vegetables a few hours ahead of time and then throw it all together for an easy 30-minute weeknight dinner. The amount of dressing written here is for a lightly dressed salad. Increase the amounts if you prefer more dressing. This is one of our very favorite meals at our house, and I am sure you will love it too!

Instructions
- Combine all dressing ingredients in an airtight container. Shake well to combine. Set aside.
- Drizzle chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook chicken with your favorite method, either sauteing on the stovetop, baking in the oven, or grilling. I typically saute in my iron skillet or bake in an aluminum foil packet at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes. (Make sure chicken is cooked completely, whatever method you choose.) Dice cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Allow to cool slightly to avoid wilting greens.
- Toss together salad greens, green onions, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, feta cheese, diced chicken, and salad dressing. Serve and enjoy.
