Grilled Mediterranean Chicken Salads
This recipe for Grilled Mediterranean Chicken Salads are half homemade, and half using easy store-bought ingredients.
I always say life is all about balance!
We are starting with some healthy grilled chicken with a homemade marinade.
And using some store-bought Mediterranean salad kits with the dressing and toppings all included đŸ™‚
How to make Grilled Mediterranean Chicken Salads
Start with 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a bowl or gallon size plastic bag.
And the ingredients below are for the marinade.
Add a 5.3 ounce container of plain Greek yogurt and some olive oil to the chicken.
Also some minced garlic, lemon juice, kosher salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
And either chopped fresh basil, or some dried Italian seasoning.
Mix together and marinate in the fridge for a few hours.
Then preheat your grill to medium heat.
And grill the chicken 10 to 12 minutes total, flipping a few times.
You could even grill the chicken a day or two in advance and refrigerate.
Then use the chicken to top the salad kits on a busy weeknight when you need dinner done ASAP đŸ™‚
For 4 people, you will need 3 to 4 Mediterranean Salad Kits.
Just divide the salad between 4 plates or bowls (or containers if meal prepping).
And add the dressing and topping packets.
Finally add the sliced grilled chicken and more feta if desired (I love my feta and the kits just did not have enough for me).
If meal prepping, put the dressing on the side in 2 ounce cups with lids.
What a stunning, easy, and healthy dinner… Grilled Mediterranean Chicken Salads are amazing!
It may not be very Mediterranean-ish, but I also added some dried cranberries to mine.
Hey, my salad, my rules… right?!
