Ingredients

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes while you prep the salad.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high. Grill chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through (internal temp 165°F) and nicely browned. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, in a large salad bowl, combine baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and olives. Drizzle with a little olive oil and lemon juice, toss to combine, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Slice the rested chicken breasts and arrange atop the salad. Spoon any pan juices or extra marinade (not raw) over the top for extra flavor.
Serve immediately, ensuring each plate has a generous portion of chicken and salad.
