Chicken breasts marinated in za'atar, a Middle Eastern spice, and lemon juice, then topped on a lemon and oil salad. Simple, healthy, and full of flavor!
The chicken should marinate for about an hour so prep that first.
In a large bowl, add the pieces of chicken and cover with the lemon juice, minced garlic, and za'atar. Mix it up so the chicken is evenly coated and let it marinate.
Next, in another large bowl, add the lettuce, diced tomatoes and cucumber. Season with some salt and pepper. Add in the lemon juice, then olive oil. Toss it up and then season with more salt and pepper. The salad is also better the longer you let it sit. I gave it about an hour while the chicken was marinating.
Once the chicken has marinated, heat a large skillet over medium high heat. There should be enough liquid in your marinade that you don't need to add any oil to the pan, but that will be up to your judgment.
Once hot, add in the chicken and cook until no longer pink.
Scoop out some salad onto your plate and top with the hot chicken.
