You get crisp cucumber, juicy tomatoes, briny olives, and creamy feta all dressed in a simple lemon-oregano vinaigrette — fresh, filling, and easy to portion for meal prep.

Instructions
- Pat the chicken cutlets dry, brush with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season both sides with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until charred at the edges and cooked through to an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F). Transfer to a board and rest for 5 minutes, then slice across the grain.
- While the chicken rests, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the dressing.
- Combine the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and green bell pepper in a large bowl. Drizzle over the dressing and toss to coat.
- Add the olives and feta chunks and gently fold them through the salad — avoid breaking up the feta too much.
- Divide the dressed salad between four plates or bowls and arrange the sliced chicken on top. Serve immediately, or store components separately and assemble just before eating.
