Ingredients

4 servings

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice (juice of 1 lemon )
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
cracked pepper (to taste)
1 pound skinless boneless chicken thigh fillets (or chicken breasts)
4 cups Romaine lettuce (or Cos lettuce leaves, washed and dried)
1 cucumber (large, diced)
2 Roma tomatoes (diced)
1 red onion (sliced)
1 avocado (sliced)
1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives (or black olives, sliced - optional)

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 grill pan or a grill plate over medium-high heat. Grill chicken on both sides until browned and completely cooked through.
Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes; slice and arrange over salad. Drizzle salad with the remaining UNTOUCHED dressing. Serve with lemon wedges.
