Prepare the Chicken:

• Start by preheating your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. This will ensure a nice, seared exterior for the chicken while keeping it juicy on the inside.
• In a small bowl, mix together the harissa paste, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. This creates a flavorful marinade for your chicken.
• Rub the harissa mixture all over the chicken breasts. Make sure each piece is fully coated—this will allow the chicken to soak up all that smoky, spicy goodness.
• Let the chicken marinate for about 10 minutes. If you have more time, feel free to let it sit for up to 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
• Once the grill is heated, place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts. The chicken should be golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F.
• After the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute and ensures the chicken stays juicy.

2. Assemble the Salad:

• While the chicken is resting, prepare your salad ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and olives (if using). Toss them gently to combine.
• Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips or bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference.
• Add the sliced chicken on top of the salad and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.

3. Make the Dressing:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper. You want a creamy dressing that’s smooth but still has a little tang from the lemon and the Greek yogurt.
• Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Be sure to toss everything together so the dressing evenly coats the chicken and vegetables.

4. Serve and Enjoy:

• This salad is ready to be enjoyed! Serve it immediately, or store it in an airtight container for a tasty lunch the next day. The combination of warm, grilled chicken with cool, fresh vegetables and the creamy dressing is absolutely irresistible.
