Easy way to cook Healthy Chicken Salad

In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano,
parsley, cilantro, and basil.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container. Refrigerate
overnight (at least 8 hours).
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (shaking off
excess) and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper to
taste.
Slice the whole grain bread and toast until golden brown.
Rub the surface of the toast with a clove of garlic for extra flavor (optional).

Pro version

In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken slices, avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and egg halves.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Garnish with fresh parsley, cilantro, basil, and a sprinkle of paprika or chili flakes (optional).
Add a tablespoon of tahini for a Middle Eastern twist.
Mix in some feta cheese for extra flavor and creaminess.

Tips / Plating:

For a visually appealing dish, arrange the salad in a bowl or on a plate with toast on the side.
Serve chilled for a refreshing treat or at room temperature for a warmer option.
