This simple recipe is perfect for a satisfying weeknight meal. Tender chicken breast is briefly marinated in a flavorful blend of fruity olive oil and freshly chopped herbs like rosemary, thyme, and parsley. The chicken is then seasoned with salt and garlic before being immersed in the herbed olive oil mixture.

The marinade process is quick, requiring only enough time to heat a grill, making it ideal for busy evenings. A deliciously tart lemon garlic vinaigrette is prepared to complement the salad. This vibrant salad features sliced grilled chicken, crisp romaine lettuce, diced cucumbers, sweet cherry tomatoes, creamy feta cheese, briny kalamata olives, juicy blueberries, and slices of rich avocado.

Each ingredient contributes to a symphony of flavors and textures, creating a truly memorable dish. Breaking a fast with this fresh, affordable, and colorful salad is an absolute delight. The combination of savory chicken, tangy vinaigrette, and fresh produce is both satisfying and invigorating.

The variety of ingredients ensures a diverse range of nutrients, making it a healthy and well-rounded meal. If you don't have a grill, you can easily saute the chicken breasts instead. Since the chicken is already marinated in olive oil, simply heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and sear them on both sides until golden brown.

Sear all the pieces of chicken this way and remove them to a plate. If the chicken is not fully cooked, place the pan with all of the chicken pieces into a 350 F oven until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 F. The sauteed chicken will still be infused with the delicious flavors of the marinade.

While the recipe calls for garlic, feel free to use crushed or minced garlic for a more intense garlic flavor. If you have a dairy sensitivity, feel free to omit the feta cheese, use a plant-based alternative, or substitute with tangy goat cheese. This salad is highly customizable, allowing you to tailor it to your own preferences and dietary needs.

Enjoy this vibrant and flavorful salad as a satisfying and nutritious meal.
