Method

In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, dried oregano, dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. For deeper flavor, you can marinate for up to an hour in the refrigerator.
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon onion powder, 0.5 teaspoon salt, 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken in a single layer. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.

While the chicken is cooking, whisk together all the ingredients for the lemon-herb vinaigrette in a small bowl: 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
