    Cut your chicken breast into 5cm chunks (4-5 pieces per breast) and marinate with lemon rind, crushed garlic, a sprinkle of thyme or oregano (fresh or dried) salt and pepper and a splash of olive oil. Leave to marinate while you prepare the salad.

    2

    Chop all salad ingredients into chunky pieces (or however you like to eat your vegetables!) and layer them in to a large shallow dish. Start with salad leaves, then layer the remaining ingredients on top. I usually leave the red onion, olives and feta for the very top.

    3

    Cook the chicken and set aside to cool before placing on top of your salad (if you donโ€™t wait for the chicken to cool it will wilt your salad). If you canโ€™t wait place the chicken on to individual plates and fill the rest of the plate with salad).

    4

    While the chicken cools make your dressing. Put olive oil and balsamic vinegar into a jar and shake vigorously before covering the salad or mix the olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a mug with a fork.
