– 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 4 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, etc.)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Healthy Greek Chicken Bowls:

1. Prepare Chicken Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Cook Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 7–8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Check for no pink in the center and juices run clear.
4. Rest Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it.
5. Prepare Salad Base: While the chicken rests, in a large bowl, mix the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
6. Assemble Bowls: Divide the salad mixture into bowls. Top with sliced chicken, crumbled feta cheese, and kalamata olives.
7. Optional Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for an additional fresh touch.
8. Serve with Dressing: Drizzle any extra marinade or your favorite dressing over the salads before serving.

Following these steps will lead to a delicious bowl that showcases a medley of flavors and textures.
