Ingredients:

1 ½ lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast

2 cups (1 large) cucumber, chopped

2 cups (1 large) red or orange bell pepper, chopped

2 cups fresh tomatoes, chopped, sliced, or wedged

½ cup (20 medium) black or green olives, chopped

¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

¼ cup red onion, finely chopped

¼ cup fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Greek seasoning mix

Directions:

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Place chicken breasts between two pieces of saran wrap and pound with a meat mallet or heavy sauté pan until chicken is of an even thickness. Sprinkle seasoning mix over each side of chicken and place the grill to cook about 5 minutes on each side, or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Remove chicken from pan, place on a plate and cover with foil. Let rest 5 minutes and then cut chicken into slices.

In a serving bowl, combine parsley, olives, and garlic. Whisk in the lemon juice and olive oil. Add cucumber, bell pepper, tomato, and onion. Toss to coat ingredients with dressing. Add up to 1 teaspoon more of lemon juice to taste. Place chicken slices over vegetable mixture.
