Healthy Lemon Chicken Salad

Ingredients

3 Large Boneless Chicken Breasts
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
1/2 Cup Lemon Juice
2 Tbsp. Dried Rosemary
2 Tbsp. Dried Oregano
1 Tsp. Black Pepper
1 Tsp. Garlic Powder
5 Cups Lettuce, torn into bite sized pieces
8 Multi Colored Sweet Peppers, cut into strips
1 Can Large Black Olives, 6 oz.
1 Can Black Beans, 15.25 oz., drained
1 Cup Dried Cranberries

Preparation

1
Heat oven to broil.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and spices.
3
Add chicken breasts and turn to coat.  Let stand 10 minutes.
4
Place on broiler pan and broil 5 to 6 minutes per side, basting with extra marinade,  until lightly browned and meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 180 degrees.  Remove from oven and set aside.
