Instructions
 

How to Make Grilled Chicken Salad

  • Season your boneless, skinless chicken breasts with ground coriander, oregano, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until charred and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • In a bowl, whisk together extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, fresh parsley, a pinch of salt, and a bit of freshly ground black pepper until the mixture thickens and is well combined.
  • In a large mixing bowl or individual serving bowls, combine chopped romaine hearts, sliced Persian cucumbers, halved grape or cherry tomatoes, diced avocados, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Top with the sliced grilled chicken and drizzle the prepared dressing over the top.
  • Toss everything together gently to ensure all ingredients are coated in the dressing. Serve immediately for a delightful lunchtime escape, or refrigerate for later enjoyment.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with additional parsley or a sprinkle of lemon juice for extra zest.
