- Grill the chicken. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 5-6 minutes per side, until chicken is cooked through. It should register 165 F as an internal temperature. Let the chicken rest, then slice.
- Assemble the salad. Divide the lettuce among bowls with the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, pepperoncini, and feta. Top with grilled chicken and drizzle with desired amount of dressing. Serve immediately.
