The Components of Greek salad with chicken
- Marinated Chicken: The chicken in this recipe is marinated with a simple yet flavorful blend of ingredients. We employ a marinade that combines olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, honey, kosher salt, garlic, oregano, and thyme.Marinating the chicken is a crucial step, as it imparts flavor and tenderness. However, be cautious not to marinate it for too long, as this can make the chicken tough and unappetizing. For this recipe, we recommend a marinating duration of 1 to 24 hours.
- Cooking the Chicken: You have the option to either bake the marinated chicken directly in the same container or grill it for a quicker and equally delicious alternative.
- Salad Base: Our salad is packed with a medley of fresh vegetables and complementary ingredients, making it a delicious and visually appealing choice. The ingredients include chopped romaine lettuce hearts, diced tomatoes, English cucumber, Kalamata olives, feta cheese (preferably chopped rather than crumbled), and pita chips, which add a delightful crunch.
- Greek Salad Dressing: Elevate your salad with our homemade Greek Salad Dressing. It’s crafted from readily available pantry staples, creating a delightful dressing that enhances the overall flavor. This dressing not only pairs perfectly with our Greek Chicken Salad but also complements other dishes, like our Greek Quinoa Salad.
