Instructions

  1. Make the Greek Vinaigrette: Add all of the dressing ingredients to a small mixing bowl. Whisk together until well combined, smooth, and creamy.
  2. Make the Salad: Add the chopped romaine to large mixing bowl. Toss with a few spoonfuls of vinaigrette until lightly dressed. Top the salad with all of the veggies and toppings.
  3. Make the Chicken: Add the chicken breast to a large mixing bowl. Add the salt, pepper, dried herbs, and seasoning. Toss the chicken in the seasoning until evenly coated. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil and then add the chicken breast. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Let the chicken rest for five minutes before slicing.
  4. Top the salad with the sliced chicken and serve with additional vinaigrette.
