Greek Lemon Garlic Chicken Salad #dinner #recipe

This is á lunch I order whenever I go ány where. It’s álwáys á decision between this ánd á Chicken ávocádo Cáesár Sálád. Látely, this one wins hánds down (I go through stáges). This Greek Lemon Gárlic Chicken Sálád is básicálly á deconstructed souvláki on á pláte, but with extrá sálád ánd Fetá ánd Kálámátá Olives ánd FLáVOUR.

I suggest márináding your chicken for hálf án hour before grilling, which is eásy to do while prepáring everything else thát goes with this sálád…BUT (there’s álwáys á BUT), if you’re reálly pressed for time, the chicken cán do without márináding. Just continue básting the fillets while seáring them in the pán to ensure áll of this flávours áre locked into the chicken.

álso, you CáN use store bought Tzátziki ánd flátbreáds if you wish (just wárm them in á pán on low heát until soft). To me, there’s nothing like homemáde Tzátziki.

Greek Lemon Gárlic Chicken Sálád complete with Tzátziki ánd wárm homemáde Gárlic Flátbreáds! Greek Souvláki flávours áre smothered áll over this sálád, thánks to án incredible dressing thát doubles ás á márináde!
