Greek Chicken Salad

The perfect meal for a hot summer evening. Light, refreshing, and filling!

Directions:

For this Greek Chicken Salad, begin by marinating your chicken for at least 20 minutes or up to 12 hours. In a large plastic zip lock bag, combine the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, Greek yogurt, and salt and pepper. Massage to mix. Add chicken into the bag and massage to coat completely.

After the chicken has marinated, remove from bag and discard the remaining marinade. Heat a medium skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, covered, approximately 3-4 minutes per side or until the internal temperature is 165° F. Remove from pan and let cool. Meanwhile, make cucumber salad by combining all the salad ingredients except the quinoa and lightly tossing together. Set aside to let the flavors marinate the veggies.

To make the tzatziki sauce, combine the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl, stirring well to combine.

Serve salad over quinoa and top with your grilled chicken and tzatziki sauce. Enjoy!
