Easy Greek Chicken Salad

Juicy, brined chicken breast pairs with Mediterranean-inspired flavors, complementing the briny kalamata olives and tangy feta cheese.

Ingredients :
  • 7 oz green leaf lettuce, chopped, (about 8 cups chopped)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved, (170 grams)
  • 1 cup English cucumber, chopped, (150 grams)
  • 1/2 cup Farmer Boy Greek Dressing, (4 fl oz)
  • 1/2 cup fat free feta cheese, (56 grams)
  • 1/3 cup red onion, sliced
  • 1/3 cup kalamata olives, halved, (61 grams)
  • 1 lb raw chicken breast
  • 3 tbsp homemade brine mix
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Oh My Spice! Lemon Pepper Dill Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
Directions :

  1. Bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add brine mix and stir until dissolved. Pour over ice in a flat bottomed resealable container. Add chicken, then add additional water until chicken is submerged. Brine for at least 5 hours or up to 12 hours.

  2. Remove chicken from brine and rinse with cold water. Pat dry on a paper towel, then pound down the thicker end of the chicken breast until they are even thickness across.

  3. Rub the chicken with 1 tsp olive oil until evenly coated. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, and Oh My Spice! seasoning.

  4. Air fry the chicken at 380 degrees for 11 minutes, flipping halfway through (sometimes I up the temp to 390 degrees after flipping the chicken for crispier edges). Set aside to cool for about 5 mintes before slicing.

  5. Assemble

  6. Divide lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, chicken, olives, and feta cheese (if desired) into 4 serving dishes. Top with Greek Dressing before serving. Serve with pita bread and hummus if desired.
