Steps:
- In a large measuring cup, whisk lemon juice with pepper, garlic, 1/2 cup oil and 1/4 cup mint.
- Pour half into a resealable plastic bag, add chicken to lemon juice mixture in bag, turning to evenly coat.

- Remove from barbecue and set aside.
- Meanwhile, remove reserved dressing from fridge.
- Peel cantaloupe, discard seeds and cut into very thin wedges.
- Line 4 large salad plates with spinach.
- When chicken is cool, for each salad, slice each breast and fan onto spinach.
- Arrange cantaloupe on spinach.
- Sprinkle salads with cherry tomatoes, feta and green onion.
