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.

- 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.
