2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves
2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup red bell pepper strips
1/4 cup thinly sliced and quartered red onion

directions

In a small bowl, combine dressing ingredients, stirring well. Reserve 1/3 cup for salad.

In a medium bowl, combine remaining dressing and chicken, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning once.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine rice, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion and feta cheese. Pour reserved dressing over rice mixture. Toss to coat and refrigerate.

Remove chicken from dressing-marinade. Grill or broil 4 to 6 inches from heat 10-12 minutes or until chicken is tender and juices run clear, brushing once with dressing-marinade.

To serve, place lettuce leaves on individual plates. Spoon rice mixture on top of lettuce. Slice chicken and arrange on top of salad. Garnish with olives.
