Prepare a grill for medium heat; lightly oil the grates.
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and thread onto four 12-inch metal skewers. Grill the chicken, turning often, until just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes.
Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice and oregano in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add the lettuce, cucumber, olives and red onion and toss until well coated. Divide among 4 plates and top with some of the feta chunks and a chicken skewer. Warm the pita bread on the grill, cut into wedges and serve with the salad.

Ingredients

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more, for the grill
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into 1-inch pieces

GREEK YOGURT CHICKEN SALAD

This chicken salad is missing one of the classic chicken salad ingredients, mayonnaise. Instead, it uses Greek yogurt that lends some added tang and boosts the healthiness of the salad.
