Feta Chicken Salad

I was thinking of feta, chicken, and salad for dinner. Here's the recipe I made up.



Ingredients:

  • 1/4 teaspoon - black pepper, kosher salt, paprika, basil, oregano, garlic & parsley
  • 1 tablespoon dried onion (or slice and roast 1/2 of a sweet onion)
  • dash of red pepper flakes
  • 4 ounces Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 8 ounces chicken breast
  • 2 eggs, hard boiled
  • 1 bell pepper cut in strips
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced or ‘coins’
  • 1/2 cup diced celery, sliced thinly
  • 1/2 cup tomatoes, sliced
  • 3 cups mixed lettuce pieces and spinach
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions:

  1. Make a marinade of spices, yogurt, oil, and vinegar
  2. Place 2 tablespoons of marinade + 1 tablespoon of milk in a small cup, stir  to make a dressing,
  3. Place the rest of marinade in a ziplock bag or other container with thinly sliced chicken.
    (Mix chicken well to cover  all sides with marinade.)
  4. Let chicken marinade for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Microwave pepper strips for 2 minutes to soften.
  6. Broil chicken in oven (or pan grill) with bell pepper strips for 7 to 10 minutes until cooked through.
  7. Mix veggies, lettuce, and spinach while chicken is cooking.
  8. Divide into large bowls or plates
  9. Add crumbled feta and mix in.
  10. Slice hard boiled eggs, sprinkle over greens.
  11. Add cooked chicken and bell peppers.
  12. Top with reserved dressing.
