Cook this recipe
- boneless skinless chicken breasts-1 lb
- romaine lettuce-6 cups
- cherry tomatoes-1 1/2 cups
- cucumber-1 cup
- canned chickpeas-1 can
- feta cheese-1/2 cup
- lemon-1 large
- olive oil-3 tablespoons
- garlic powder-1 teaspoon
- kosher salt-3/4 teaspoon

Prepare salad vegetables and lemon using a clean board separate from raw chicken. Use a 12-inch skillet and salad bowl of at least 5 quarts. Chop romaine and cucumber, halve tomatoes and rinse chickpeas.
Keep the knife blade angled away from fingers while chopping and halving vegetables.
Whisk lemon juice and zest with two-thirds of the oil, one-third of the salt and half the pepper until combined.
Cut chicken into cutlets about 1/2 inch thick and season both sides evenly. Use all garlic powder and remaining salt and pepper; wash hands and clean raw-chicken board and knife.
Wash hands, knife, and cutting board thoroughly after handling raw chicken.
Cut chicken on a stable board and keep fingers clear of the knife blade.
Cook uncrowded cutlets until each reaches 165°F at its thickest part, about 3–4 minutes per side. Divide the remaining oil across batches and use medium-high heat, lowering it if the outside browns too quickly.
Use caution with hot oil to avoid splatter burns.
Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F.
Rest cooked chicken on a clean board or plate for 5 minutes, then chop with clean utensils. Keep earlier batches covered while the rest cook.
Keep fingers tucked while chopping the cooked chicken.
Toss all salad ingredients with chicken and dressing and serve immediately for crisp lettuce. Share the complete salad evenly.
