Instructions

  • Place the chicken breasts in a shallow glass dish and season with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, half the chopped garlic, salt and pepper. Chill for at least 30 minutes. Combine the remaining olive oil, lemon juice and zest, sherry vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Set aside. Preheat the grill to a high heat. Place the chicken on the grill skin side down and cook until the skin begins to brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the breast over and cook thoroughly, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice the meat off the bone. In the meantime, prepare the salad. Combine the cheese, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, olives, parsley and oregano in a bowl. Toss with the reserved dressing and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the salad and chicken on a serving platter and serve with pita if desired.
