Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each)
1 tablespoon olive oil for the chicken
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper

Tomato Salad

8 oz cherry or grape tomatoes halved
6 whole pitted Kalamata olives halved (more to taste)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic minced
¼ cup fresh mint or basil leaves sliced thinly (see post for other ideas)
1 oz feta cheese cubed

Instructions

Preparation

Take the chicken out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking. Rub the chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pre-heat the grill.
Halve the tomatoes and olives. Mince the garlic. Chiffonade the fresh herbs by stacking the leaves on top of each other and rolling lengthwise. Slice thinly crosswise. Cube the feta cheese. Place all of these ingredients EXCEPT the feta cheese into a medium bowl with ¼ cup olive oil. Stir to coat and let marinate until service.

Method

Once the grill is hot, oil the grate and cook the chicken 4-6 minutes per side until firm to the touch and the internal temperature reaches 160F. Remove to serving platter and tent with foil for 10 minutes so it will be juicy

Serving

Slice chicken and place on serving platter. Gently stir the feta cheese into the tomato salad and spoon it over the chicken. Serve with a green salad.
