Directions

1. 1
   Watch how to make this recipe.
2. 2
   Preheat the grill over medium-high heat.
3. 3
   Remove the skin from the chicken breast. Slice the chicken breasts off the bone and slice each piece across horizontally to get 4 large, thin pieces.
4. 4
   When the grill is hot, brush the grill grates with cooking oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
5. 5
   Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and grill for 4 minutes per side.
6. 6
   Let rest for a few minutes, and then slices into strips, if desired.
7. 7
   In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Italian seasoning, sugar, lemon juice, half the zest and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. (Reserve the remaining half of the lemon zest for another recipe.) Reserve 2 tablespoons of the dressing to drizzle over the top of the salad.
8. 8
   Add the green beans, olives, cheese, onions and lettuce to the remaining dressing, and toss to coat evenly. Divide the salad evenly among 4 plates or 1 large platter and top with the sliced chicken.
9. 9
   Drizzle with the reserved dressing.
