GREEK CHICKEN SALAD
My family loves this dish. Use light mayonnaise and this is a healthy salad. Even if you or your family are not garlic lovers, I'd advise that you use the full measurement of garlic and the tablespoon of oregano for the proper flavoring. I receive nothing but raves when I serve this salad.

GREEK CHICKEN WITH CUCUMBER-FETA SALAD
This meal has the flavors of a Greek combination plate with chicken souvlaki, Greek salad and tzatziki, but it is streamlined for the home cook. Boneless chicken thighs are coated with herby, garlicky yogurt, then seared until tender inside and crusty and browned outside. Extra yogurt dresses cucumbers and tomatoes that have had a chance to drain with salt so they taste their most vivid. Feta and olives add briny bites to the creamy, crunchy salad, but feel free to incorporate other elements of Greek salad or tzatziki, like romaine lettuce, bell peppers, mint or dill, toasted walnuts or thinly sliced red onion. Eat with lemon potatoes or toasted pita.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the yogurt and garlic; season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer 1/2 cup of the yogurt to a medium bowl and reserve for Step 5.
- Coat the chicken: To the large bowl, add the oregano and stir to combine. Season the chicken all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the chicken to the large bowl and turn to coat; set aside.
- Start the salad: Smash the cucumbers with the side of your knife until craggy and split. Rip into ½- to 1-inch pieces and transfer to a colander placed in the sink. Slice or chop the tomatoes into bite-size pieces. Add to the cucumbers along with 1 ½ teaspoons salt. (It may seem like a lot of salt, but most will drain away.) Toss to combine and leave to drain.
- In a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium. Scrape excess marinade off the chicken, then cook the chicken in batches, adding oil to the pan if necessary, until it's well browned and releases from the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through, another 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to plates to rest. (For grilling info, see Tip.)
- To the medium bowl of yogurt, add the feta and mash with a fork until a chunky paste forms. Shake the cucumbers and tomatoes to get rid of any excess moisture. Add to the feta yogurt along with the olives and stir until coated. The balance is dependent on your produce and feta, so season to taste with salt and pepper until flavors are vivid. Eat alongside the chicken.
GREEK SALAD CHICKEN
The same bold flavors of a classic Greek salad dress up roasted chicken thighs in this couldn't-be-easier dinner. Simply toss the ingredients together, then bake until the chicken is golden and crisp and the veggies are tender. Top it with tangy feta crumbles. Serve over quinoa or with a quick side salad of romaine and sliced cucumber.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the chicken thighs, tomatoes, olives, onion, capers in brine, vinegar, oil, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large bowl. Toss until everything is evenly mixed and the chicken is well coated.
- Transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Nestle the chicken pieces into the vegetables, arranging them in a single layer, skin-side up, so the skin is well exposed (this will allow it to get crisp).
- Bake uncovered for 50 minutes, then increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Bake until the skin is crispy and golden, the chicken is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part, not touching bone) and the pan liquid has reduced by about half, 10 minutes more.
- Scatter the feta on top and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Serve with the pan juices.

Steps:
- To marinate the chicken: In a non-reactive dish, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper and mix together. Add the chicken breasts to the dish and rub both sides in the mixture. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
- To make the dressing: Combine all the ingredients in a resealable container and shake vigorously. Refrigerate until ready to serve, and then bring to room temperature before tossing salad.
- Assemble the salad: cut off any dark tips and the bitter white bottoms from the romaine leaves. Cut the lettuce into 1-inch strips and place in a bowl that is large enough to hold all the salad ingredients comfortably. Scatter cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta over the top. You can prepare the salad up to a few hours in advance. Cover it with a moist paper towel and refrigerate until 30 minutes before serving.
- To cook the chicken: Heat a nonstick skillet or grill pan over high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook, turning once, until well browned, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Let the chicken rest on a cutting board for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- Give the dressing a good shake and pour it into a nice little serving bowl, using the lid to strain out the garlic.
- Toss salad just before serving and fan chicken out on top.
