Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, vinegar, garlic powder, oregano, basil, sea salt and pepper. Transfer ¾ cup of the marinade to a small bowl or jar, cover, and place in the fridge.
- 2Pat the chicken dry and add it to the remaining marinade in the large bowl. Toss to coat well, then let marinate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight covered in the refrigerator.
- 3Preheat the grill on high. Brush the grates with olive oil.
- 4Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill, cover, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Thinly slice the chicken.
- 5In a second large bowl, toss the romaine with half of the reserved marinade. Add the cucumbers, olives, tomatoes, and onion and toss to combine.
- 6Divide the salad between bowls and top with the sliced chicken. Drizzle with the remaining marinade.
