Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour half of the balsamic vinaigrette over the chicken. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

- Divide the salad mixture onto 4 plates and top each with sliced grilled chicken. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and serve immediately.
