Ingredients

Servings

chicken

  • pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dill weed
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • lemon zest freshly grated and juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 8 to 10 butter lettuce fresh leaves

salad

  • 2 shallot thinly sliced
  • 2 cups grape tomato halved or quartered
  • 1/3 cup roasted red peppers chopped
  • 1 cucumber peeled and chopped, seedless
  • 1 cup kalamata olives some sliced if desired, pitted
  • 6 ounces feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 garlic finely minced or pressed, cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon dill weed
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano dried
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

avocado tzatziki

  • 1 avocado
  • 1/2 cup yogurt plain, Greek
  • 1/2 cucumber diced, seedless
  • 1 garlic minced, clove
  • 1/2  lemon juiced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dill fresh
  • 1/2  teaspoon honey
  • 1/4  teaspoon salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Heat the broiler in your oven to the highest setting with the oven rack about six inches below (I set my rack on the second-highest level.) Spray a baking dish with nonstick spray. Place the chicken in the dish.
  2. Stir together the salt, pepper, dill and garlic. Cover the chicken evenly on both sides. Place it directly under the broiler and broil for 6 minutes, then flip the chicken and broil for 6 minutes more. While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the honey, lemon juice and lemon zest. Once the chicken is finished, brush the honey mixture on top and broil for 2 more minutes. Flip the chicken, brush the other side and broil 2 minutes move. Remove from the oven and let cool, then slice.
  3. To assemble the lettuce cups, spread some tzatziki in the bottom of the butter leaf. Top with the greek salad, the chicken, and any extra feta.

  1. Place the shallots, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, olives and half of the feta in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, honey, garlic, dill, oregano, salt and pepper. Slowly stream in the olive oil and whisk until the dressing comes together. Pour it over the vegetables and let sit under ready to use. You can store this in the fridge, even overnight, for tons of flavor! Right before serving, I use half of what is left of the feta to stir into the veg, and the other half for topping the cups. This makes for a good amount of leftovers! I keep mine sealed in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
