Mediterranean Salad With Grilled Chicken Breasts image

From Pam Riesnberg, Home Appetit, from a cooking class that I took. It was wonderful-there is short marination for the chicken and it is grilled on a stove top in a grill pan and the salad and dressing are easy to assemble. This would be nice for a luncheon or a party.

The dressing for this salad is amazing! I could drink it straight from the bottle. The chicken is also really flavorful and juicy.

This Mediterranean salad with grilled chicken breasts was a hit at my last dinner party! The flavors were incredible, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be making this again.
