Instructions

1. 1Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and cracked pepper in a large shallow dish. Pour half of this mixture into a separate container and refrigerate as your dressing; reserve the remaining half in the shallow dish as marinade.
2. 2Add the chicken breasts to the marinade in the shallow dish, turn to coat evenly on all sides, cover, and marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
3. 3While the chicken marinates, chop the romaine lettuce, cucumber, tomato, bell pepper, and onion into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl; add the black olives and crumbled feta cheese, then toss gently to combine.
4. 4Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place in the hot pan; sear for 5–6 minutes until golden brown on the first side.
5. 5Flip the chicken and sear for another 5–6 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F when measured at the thickest point.
6. 6Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes, then slice thickly against the grain.
7. 7Divide the salad mixture evenly into 4 airtight containers while the chicken is still warm, then top each with sliced chicken.
8. 8Refrigerate the containers; slice the avocado and add it to each portion along with the reserved cold dressing just before serving.
