Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the feta brine, olive oil, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, turmeric, oregano and lemon zest. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the sliced chicken and toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
- Heat a grill, large skillet, grill pan, or flat-top griddle over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and develops light golden-brown color. Allow to rest for minimum 5 minutes before slicing to retain moisture.
- Make the salad in a bowl by combining cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, fresh herbs, lemon, salt and olive oil.
- Serve chicken over rice with salad.
