Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
4. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
5. While the chicken is grilling, toss the cherry tomatoes and spinach in a bowl with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
6. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the grilled chicken over the spinach and tomatoes, and top with crumbled feta cheese.
