Ingredients

200g (7 oz) chicken breast
150g (1 cup) cherry tomatoes, halved
150g (3/4 small) cucumber, in chunks
40g (1/3 small) red onion, sliced thin
30g (1 oz) feta, in cubes
8ml (2 tsp) olive oil
20ml (4 tsp) lemon juice
2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, black pepper, olives if you like

Method

Butterfly the chicken breast so it is an even thickness throughout. An untouched breast is thick at one end and thin at the other and cooks accordingly.
Rub it with half the oil, half the oregano, salt and pepper.
Get a dry skillet properly hot and cook the chicken 4-5 min a side without moving it, until it reads 74C / 165F.
Rest it 5 min on the board while you build the salad. Cutting straight away puts the juice on the plate.
Cut the cucumber into proper chunks rather than slices - Greek salad is a chunk salad, and thin slices go limp on contact with salt.
Toss the tomato, cucumber and onion with the lemon juice, remaining oil, oregano and a pinch of salt.
Slice the chicken across the grain and lay it over the salad, feta on top, and spoon any resting juice back over.

Tip: feta goes on last and never gets tossed. Tossed through, it breaks up and turns the dressing cloudy and salty.
