Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, Greek seasoning and chicken to a large container or ziploc bag so that chicken is covered
  • If time permits, allow to marinate for 30 minutes, otherwise skip this step
  • Preheat grill to 400 F (200c)
  • Remove chicken and discard remaining marinade
  • Place chicken on grill and cook, flipping once until internal temperature reaches 165 F (74c)
  • Meanwhile add mixed greens, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and cheese to a large bowl
  • Whisk together remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, sour cream, mustard and salt and pepper, set aside
  • Remove chicken from grill and let cool slightly before adding to salad
  • Toss vinaigrette with salad or drizzle over individual portions, as desired

Notes

1. If planning for leftovers, do not toss dressing with salad. Store separately until ready to serve
2. Chicken can be served warm or cold from the fridge
3. I like to use a wireless thermometer and about 1/2 way through cooking I stick it into one of the average sized pieces of meat. This will alert you as soon as it is done so that you don’t overcook (or undercook) the meat.
