This Greek Crispy Chicken Salad is one of my go to weeknight dinners because it comes together in under an hour and tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did. The chicken gets golden and crispy while you prep everything else, and then it all comes together in one beautiful bowl. I love using fresh lemon juice and garlic to marinate the chicken because the acidity not only adds incredible flavor but also helps break down the proteins, making the chicken more tender. The feta cheese gives you that authentic Greek touch while providing calcium for strong bones, and honestly, the whole thing is just so satisfying and fresh that you'll find yourself making it again and again.
