Ingredients

1 cup Greek yogurt
Juice of 1 large lemon
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (more for later)
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 garlic cloves (minced)
Kosher salt (generous pinch to taste)
Black pepper (generous pinch to taste)
1 tbsp oregano
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
1.5 lb Chicken tenders
Homemade Greek dressing,
8 oz hearts of Romaine lettuce, (chopped )
10 oz cherry or grape tomatoes,
1 bell pepper any color, (cored and chopped)
1 English cucumber sliced into rounds, (diced)
2 shallots, (thinly sliced)
Pitted Kalamata olives, (to your liking)
Quality Greek feta blocks, (to your liking)

Steps:

Season and marinate the chicken tenders. In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, salt, and spices. Add the chicken tenders and mix to make sure chicken is well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or refrigerate overnight, if you like)
Prepare the dressing according to this Greek dressing recipe.
Prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, cucumber slices, shallots and kalamata olives. Add 4 tablespoons of the Greek dressing and toss to combine (you can always add more dressing to your liking). Leave some of the dressing (about 3 tablespoons or so) for later. Add feta cheese to your liking.
Cook the chicken. Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high until shimmering but not smoking. Add chicken tenders to the pan (make sure to shake off any excess marinade before adding chicken to the pan.) Cook on one side undisturbed for 5 minutes until browned. Using a pair of tongs, turn chicken over and cook on other side for another 5 minutes or until chicken is done. (See notes for outdoor grilling)
Assemble the grilled chicken salad. Transfer the salad to serving bowls and top each bowl with the cooked chicken then drizzle a bit more of the salad dressing directly over the chicken. Serve immediately.

GRILLED GREEK CHICKEN

Grilled Greek Chicken image

The secret to this simple grilled chicken is a very powerful marinade and 'roasting' it slowly over semi-indirect heat on the grill.

Categories World Cuisine Recipes European Greek

Time 4h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

6 cloves garlic (or more to taste), crushed or very finely minced
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup lemon juice
¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
6 chicken leg quarters
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

Whisk garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, black pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, and vinegar together in a large bowl.
Make 2 slashes on the skin side down to the bone in the thigh section and 1 in the leg section of each leg quarter. This will help infuse pieces with marinade and allow faster cooking on the grill. Season both sides of chicken generously with kosher salt. Transfer to bowl with marinade and thoroughly coat all sides. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 4 to 12 hours.
Transfer chicken to paper-towel-lined sheet pan to drain slightly.
Place leg quarters on grill skin side down over semi-direct heat (avoid intense direct heat so chicken cooks evenly and skin doesn't burn). Cook 6 or 7 minutes. Turn chicken and cook another 6 to 7 minutes. Continue cooking and turning until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 8 to 10 more minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
