Ingredients
For the Dressing:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- Juice of one lemon
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoons dried oregano
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
For the Rest:
- 1 lb. chicken breasts and/or thighs
- 1 head romaine lettuce chopped
- 1/2 cucumber thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives
- 4 oz. feta cheese crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup red onion thinly sliced
- Lemon wedges optional
Instructions
- Mix dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
- Cut the chicken into two-inch pieces, if skewering. Put the chicken and 1/2 of the dressing in a gallon-sized bag or large container to marinate. Seal/cover, and place in refrigerator for at least 20 minutes prior to cooking (or overnight).
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Skewer the marinated chicken if desired and place on a large rimmed baking sheet. (Alternatively, you can place the chicken in a greased baking dish and bake without skewers.)
- Bake chicken for 25 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, mix the remaining salad ingredients together with the remaining dressing.
- Serve the baked chicken with the salad with extra lemon wedges if desired.
