Ingredients

  • 3 thin boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 cup cucumber cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup tomatoes seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup of canned chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup minced red onion
  • 1/4 cup sliced kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 8 butter lettuce leaves

Instructions

  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts and sprinkle with oregano and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
  • Cut the chicken into 1 inch pieces
  • Combine the chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, chickpeas, red onion, kalamata olives, feta cheese and parsley in a large bowl.
  • Add the lemon juice and olive oil to the chicken mixture; season with salt and pepper to taste and toss gently until just combined.
  • Divide the chicken mixture evenly between the lettuce leaves and serve.

Notes

  • Make sure to use a preheated grill pan.
  • Drain your chickpeas well.
  • Be sure to cut all your ingredients into bite-sized pieces.
  • To check the doneness of your chicken you can use a meat thermometer. Stick it in the thickest part of the chicken, when it registers 165F your chicken is done.
  • Ideally use fresh lemon juice, a much better flavor than bottled.
  • You can swap the chicken for turkey or tofu - if you want a vegetarian option.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
