Olive Oil (For Cooking Chicken Breast)

Directions: (Approximate cook time: 15 minutes; Servings: 3.)

1. Turn on your stovetop to medium-high heat.

2. Place a skillet on the stovetop, and cook your thawed chicken breast in olive oil for 8-10 minutes, turning every 90 seconds; after your chicken is thoroughly cooked, cut chicken into bite sized cubes, and set aside.

3. Next, mix all of your ingredients together, including the chicken cubes, in a medium-sized bowl.

4. Then, spread a generous amount of the chicken salad mix to a slice of wheat bread; complete sandwich by adding a lettuce leaf, a bit of feta cheese (OPTIONAL), and topping with another piece of wheat bread. Serve immediately. (Refrigerate leftover chicken salad in tupperware for later use.)

5. Eat & enjoy!
