  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • Feta cheese crumbles for topping
  • Fresh parsley and lemon wedges for garnish
  • Optional: hummus or tzatziki sauce for added flavor

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Let rest before slicing into strips.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, thinly slice the red onion, and pit the Kalamata olives.
  3. Arrange sliced chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and olives in a large bowl. Top with crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon wedges. Drizzle with hummus or tzatziki if desired.
