Greek Chicken Salad Recipe


INGREDIENTS:

For the Chicken:

  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, peeled, smashed and minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon red-pepper flakes
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

For the Salad:

  • Fresh parsley, torn
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halves
  • crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup cucumber, halved and thinly sliced
  • pickled red onions

Lemon Oregano Vinaigrette:

  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 teaspoons champagne vinegar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ shallot, minced
  • kosher salt to taste
  • fresh oregano

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In a large zip-top bag, combine the lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, oregano and red-pepper flakes. Add the chicken, zip the top of the bag and give it a quick shake to combine. Refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
  2. Pre-heat a cast iron to medium high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill each chicken thigh for 4-5 minutes on each side until done. Remove and set aside to rest.
  3. Slice the chicken against the grain into thin strips and transfer back into the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes until just slightly crispy around the edges.
  4. Transfer the chicken to a large bowl and toss to with the salad ingredients and serve with the Lemon Oregano Vinaigrette
