Fairly quick dinner tonight: marinated chicken breasts with a healthy Greek salad and a Yogurt-Dill Dip. All off the top of my head, but I actually recorded ingredients as I went! This made enough for dinner for 2 and lunch for tomorrow :)
Grilled Greek Chicken & Salad with Yogurt-Dill Dip
Ingredients:
3 chicken breasts
Marinade:
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp cumin
salt & pepper
Yogurt-Dill Dip:
1 cup 0% fat plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup grated cucumber (blot with a paper towel)
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp freshly chopped dill
1/2 tsp each cumin & oregano
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
salt & pepper
Greek Salad:
1/2 large English cucumber, chopped into 1 inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, chopped into 1 inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1 inch pieces
1/4 red onion, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup grape tomatoes, quartered
1/2 head of romaine lettuce
1/2 cup feta, crumbled
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Pitas for serving (heated, then buttered and rub a cut side of a clove of garlic on it)
Method:
First prepare the marinade in a glass bowl and add chicken breasts. Set aside while you are preparing the rest of the meal.
In another bowl, combine all of the yogurt-dill dip ingredients. Set aside.
This is pretty easy so far, hey?
Chop all your vegetables and combine in a large bowl. Add the lemon juice and the feta. Set aside. Heat up your indoor grill - or if you don't live in Canada, how bout the BBQ? Grill the chicken breasts for about 10 mins or until done, remove to a plate and tent with tin foil for about 5 mins. Slice diagonally.
Prepare the romaine lettuce by chopping and arrange in your bowls or plates. Top with the salad mixture, then the chicken breast and a dollop of dip. Serve with pitas if you like!! Super easy!!
Yummy and light! Perfect!
