- Cook the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it cool slightly, and then slice it into thin strips.
- Prepare the Salad:
- In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, carrots, radishes, and black olives (if using). Toss to mix the ingredients.
- Make the Healthy Ranch Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried dill, dried parsley, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- If the dressing is too thick, you can thin it out with a little water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Assemble the Salad:
- Add the sliced chicken breast on top of the salad.
- Drizzle the healthy ranch dressing over the salad.
- Optional Garnish:
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top of the salad for an extra burst of flavor and creaminess.
- Serve:
- Toss the salad gently to combine all the ingredients and coat them with the dressing.
- Serve immediately as a wholesome and nutritious meal.
