Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; cut into bite-size pieces. Halve tomatoes lengthwise. Halve, core, and dice green pepper into ¼-inch pieces.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper (cut into bite-size pieces if necessary). • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine vinegar, ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt; stir until sugar is dissolved. Add onion and toss until evenly coated. • Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until onion is bright pink, 30 seconds. Toss onion in liquid; drain, reserving pickling liquid.
• In a large bowl, combine vinaigrette and ½ TBSP reserved pickling liquid (1 TBSP for 4 servings). • Add lettuce, tomatoes, green pepper, half the feta, half the chicken, and as much pickled onion as you like. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. • Divide salad between bowls and top with remaining chicken and remaining feta. Serve.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the tangy pickled onions and zesty Greek dressing, though some wished for kalamata olives to complete the Greek flavor profile.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, with pre-cut chicken saving time; some found the onion pickling step confusing.
- Suggestions: Consider adding kalamata olives, cucumber, and more feta cheese for authentic Greek flavor. Season chicken beyond salt and pepper.
- Portions: Several found the lettuce portion small for a dinner salad; adding extra veggies or a side of pita bread could make it more filling.
- Chicken quality: Some noted issues with fatty or gristly chicken pieces; whole chicken breasts to slice at home might be preferred.
