| 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs ) | |
| 2 tablespoons olive oil | |
| 3 tablespoons red wine vingar | |
| 1 teaspoon dried Greek oregano | |
| 1 teaspoon Sweet paprika | |
| 2 cloves garlic, minced | |
| 1/4 cup plain yogurt | |
| salt and pepper to taste |
For the Salad
| 1 large red onion, thinly sliced ( Cold water for soaking) | |
| 2 heads of Romaine lettuce, leaves torn into pieces | |
| 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved | |
| 2 Persian cucumbers or half of an English cucumber, sliced | |
| 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted | |
| 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled | |
| Fresh mint leaves and parsley |
Preparation
1
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, remove the small tenderloin piece from the thicker side of each breast (save or discard). Slice each breast horizontally through the thickest part to create two even, thinner pieces. This helps the chicken cook evenly and quickly.
2
In a bowl, whisk together yogurt, olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, paprika, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken pieces in a zip-top bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them, ensuring even coating. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor
3
While the chicken marinates, thinly slice the red onion and soak it in cold water for 15-20 minutes. Drain thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
4
Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice it into strips for serving.
5
Arrange romaine lettuce leaves on a plate as the base. Layer with cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, Kalamata olives, crumbled feta, and the soaked red onion. Drizzle with the salad dressing and toss gently to coat.
6
Let everyone add sliced grilled chicken to their plates and top with extra crumbles of creamy feta. Finish with fresh mint and parsley for a burst of flavor. Drizzle with Greek Goddess dressing and enjoy!
