Ingredients

For the Chicken Marinade:

3 Tbs olive oil (extra virgin)
1 1/2 tsp oregano (dried)
1/2 tsp TH Mineral Salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 lemon (juiced)
2 1/2 lbs chicken breasts (thawed, cut in small pieces) (or tenderlions)
coconut oil spray

For the Salad:

3 heads romaine lettuce (3-4) (chopped)
2 medium cucumbers (peeled, chopped)
2 large tomatoes (chopped)
1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
1/2 cup Kalamata olives (1/2-3/4 cup) (or other pitted black olives)
6 oz feta cheese (crumbled)
Grand Greek Dressing recipe (p. 475) (or store-bought Caesar dressing, slightly thinned with water)

Instructions

1
Marinate the chicken. Combine the olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper, and lemon juice in a glass or ceramic bowl and add the chicken. Cover and put in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes (or you can put it in earlier in the day for a longer marinade).
2
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the salad. Put the lettuce in a large bowl or into individual bowls. Top with the cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, olives, feta cheese, and dressing. (Put the onion in a bowl on the side if you have children who are not keen on them.)
3
Coat a large skillet with coconut oil cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown on all sides. Cook until done through and crisp, about 10 minutes.
4
Top salads with the chicken pieces or place it in a side bowl so each member of the family can take what he or she wants.
