Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (fresh)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (dried rosemary)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked pepper (or to taste)
- 1 pound skinless boneless chicken thigh fillets (or chicken breasts)
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce leaves (washed and dried)
- 1 avocado (large, pitted, peeled and sliced)
- 8 ounces feta cheese
- 1 cup grape tomatoes (halved)
- 1/4 red onion (sliced, optional)
- 1/4 cup diced bacon (trimmed of rind and fat)
- 4 lemon wedges (to serve)
Steps
-
Whisk together all of the marinade/dressing ingredients in a large jug. Pour out half of the marinade into a large, shallow dish. Refrigerate the remaining marinade to use as the dressing later.
-
Add the chicken to the marinade in the bowl; marinade chicken for 15-30 minutes (or up to two hours in the refrigerator if time allows). While waiting for the chicken, prepare all of the salad ingredients and mix in a large salad bowl.
-
Once chicken is ready, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Sear chicken on both sides until browned and completely cooked through (about 7 minutes per side, depending on thickness).
-
Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes; slice and arrange over salad. Drizzle salad with the remaining UNTOUCHED dressing. Serve with lemon wedges.
