Simple Greek Chicken Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the chicken, carrots, cucumber, olives and cheese. Gently mix together. Add the salad dressing and mix well.
• Cover and refrigerate. Let flavors marinate for at least 1 hour. Serve on a bed of lettuce if desired.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat; lightly oil the grates.
• Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and thread onto four 12-inch metal skewers. Grill the chicken, turning often, until just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice and oregano in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add the lettuce, cucumber, olives and red onion and toss until well coated. Divide among 4 plates and top with some of the feta chunks and a chicken skewer. Warm the pita bread on the grill, cut into wedges and serve with the salad.

Steps:

• Combine the first five ingredients. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Toss with chicken mixture. Cover and chill for several hours.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the chicken thighs, tomatoes, olives, onion, capers in brine, vinegar, oil, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large bowl. Toss until everything is evenly mixed and the chicken is well coated.
• Transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Nestle the chicken pieces into the vegetables, arranging them in a single layer, skin-side up, so the skin is well exposed (this will allow it to get crisp).
• Bake uncovered for 50 minutes, then increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Bake until the skin is crispy and golden, the chicken is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part, not touching bone) and the pan liquid has reduced by about half, 10 minutes more.
• Scatter the feta on top and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Serve with the pan juices.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cucumbers, cheese, olives and parsley. In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Toss with chicken mixture. Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the yogurt and garlic; season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer 1/2 cup of the yogurt to a medium bowl and reserve for Step 5.
• Coat the chicken: To the large bowl, add the oregano and stir to combine. Season the chicken all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the chicken to the large bowl and turn to coat; set aside.
• Start the salad: Smash the cucumbers with the side of your knife until craggy and split. Rip into ½- to 1-inch pieces and transfer to a colander placed in the sink. Slice or chop the tomatoes into bite-size pieces. Add to the cucumbers along with 1 ½ teaspoons salt. (It may seem like a lot of salt, but most will drain away.) Toss to combine and leave to drain.
• In a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium. Scrape excess marinade off the chicken, then cook the chicken in batches, adding oil to the pan if necessary, until it's well browned and releases from the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through, another 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to plates to rest. (For grilling info, see Tip.)
• To the medium bowl of yogurt, add the feta and mash with a fork until a chunky paste forms. Shake the cucumbers and tomatoes to get rid of any excess moisture. Add to the feta yogurt along with the olives and stir until coated. The balance is dependent on your produce and feta, so season to taste with salt and pepper until flavors are vivid. Eat alongside the chicken.

Steps:

• Place cucumbers in a colander; set onto a plate. Toss cucumbers with 1 teaspoon salt. Let rest to draw about liquid, about 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.
• Place red onion and 1 cup cold water in a bowl. Let soak until the strong onion flavor is weakened, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse.
• Combine cucumbers, red onions, Greek yogurt, Kalamata olives, dill, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, lemon zest, oregano, and black pepper in a bowl. Fold in chicken, feta cheese, and tomatoes. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate salad for at least 1 hour.
• Stir salad and serve on lettuce leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• In a bowl, add the Greek yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and salt, and stir to combine.
• Place pita wedges on a baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 8 minutes.
• In a bowl, add the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, oregano, lemon zest, garlic, salt, black pepper, and chicken, and toss to coat.
• Heat remaining olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the chicken and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
