Grilled Greek Chicken Salad with Charcoal Flavor

Ingredients

- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets
- 1 English cucumber, sliced
- 3 vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces of grilled pita bread

Instructions

1. Prepare Marinade:
In a bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.

2. Marinate Chicken:
Place the chicken breast cutlets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.

3. Preheat Charcoal Grill:
Light your charcoal grill and allow it to preheat until the coals are covered with a light gray ash and the grill reaches medium-high heat.

4. Grill Chicken:
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook each side for approximately 6 to 7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken has nice grill marks.

5. Prepare the Salad:
While the chicken is grilling, combine the cucumber, tomatoes, green bell pepper, red onion, feta cheese, and parsley in a large serving bowl.

6. Toss Salad:
Drizzle a bit of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice over the salad mixture and gently toss to combine.

7. Assemble the Dish:
Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into strips and lay them over your prepared salad. Serve with grilled pita bread on the side.
