Start by gathering five quart size Wide Mouth Mason jars.

Prepare 1.5 cups of Greek dressing, adjusting the recipe to have enough for marinating the chicken and for all five salads.

Marinate the chicken breasts by poking them with a fork and pouring 0.5 cups of Greek dressing over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Grill the marinated chicken until it is no longer pink inside, cooking time will depend on thickness.

Chop the grilled chicken into bite-sized pieces after cooking.

To assemble the salads, add 3 tablespoons of dressing to the bottom of each mason jar.

Layer in about 1 cup of sliced cucumbers on top of the dressing in each jar.

Add approximately 0.25 cups of grape or cherry tomatoes to each jar.

Next, add 0.25 cups of pitted kalamata olives to each jar.

Layer 0.25 cups of crumbled feta cheese on top of the olives in each jar.

Divide the chopped grilled chicken evenly among the five jars.

Finally, add about 1.5 cups of chopped romaine lettuce to each jar, filling it to the top.

Seal the jars with lids and store them in the fridge for up to 5-6 days.
