Lemon and oregano chicken over a tomato salad with tzatziki and feta. It packs well for lunch.

In a large bowl, combine:

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 lemon juiced

3 garlic cloves minced

1 tablespoon oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

¾ teaspoon salt

For the chicken: ½ teaspoon black pepper

Add and toss well to coat:

1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into cubes

If time allows, marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken in a single layer and cook for 5 minutes undisturbed. Flip and continue cooking for 3 to 4 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

In another large bowl, add:

1 pint cherry tomatoes halved

4 Persian cucumbers chopped

½ cup pitted olives roughly chopped

½ cup chopped red onions

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ teaspoon salt

For the bowls: ½ teaspoon black pepper

Stir to combine.

Divide among 4 bowls the tomato salad and:

½ cup crumbled feta

Serve immediately.
