1 bone-in, split chicken breast (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Oil, for the grill grates
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon sugar

8 ounces frozen green beans, thawed
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, roughly chopped

1 large head romaine lettuce, cleaned and torn into bite-size pieces

1
Preheat the grill over medium-high heat.
2
Remove the skin from the chicken breast.
3
Slice the chicken breasts off the bone and slice each piece across horizontally to get 4 large, thin pieces.
4
When the grill is hot, brush the grill grates with cooking oil to prevent the chicken from sticking.
5
Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and grill for 4 minutes per side.
6
Let rest for a few minutes, and then slices into strips, if desired.
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.
8
(Reserve the remaining half of the lemon zest for another recipe.)
9
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the dressing to drizzle over the top of the salad.
