This is a 'composed' Chicken Salad ~ a combination of chopped vegetables (no lettuce) with a pan sauteed or grilled seasoned chicken cutlet.
Chicken Cutlet ~ Slice a boneless/skinless chicken breast through the middle to form 2 thin cutlets. Mix 1/2 t. Kosher Salt, 1/4 t. fresh ground pepper, 1/2 t. paprika and 1/2 t. Greek Oregano. Add about 1 T. of olive oil to make a paste. Spread a bit of the paste on each side of the chicken and allow to marinade in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Prep salad vegetables ~ Wash & seed one English Cucumber, chop into small dice. Dice 1/2 sweet red pepper. Dice 1/4 red onion (soak for 10 minutes in ice water/drain/dry). Slice 1/2 c. pitted Kalmata Olives. Finely chop 3 T. fresh Parsley.
Salad Dressing ~ 2 Tbsp. Fresh Lemon Juice, 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil, 1/4 t. Kosher Salt, Ground Pepper to taste, 1/2 t. Paprika (I use Hungarian Hot). Stir dressing ingredients to mix well and pour over chopped vegetables ~ Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Salad Assembly ~ Saute chicken cutlets until done. Remove from pan & slice.
Add dressed salad to plate ~ put sliced chicken on top. *If desired, sprinkle with crumbled Feta Cheese. Serve.
