Happy summer day friends!  The sun is shining, and all is good in the world today!  I wanted to share this scrumptious and EASY meal with you!  It’s so summery and is such a crowd pleaser:  Greek Chicken Marinade & Greek Salad!

A couple of weekends ago, my family got together to celebrate my Dad’s 60th birthday.  It was such a great weekend, that we all enjoyed SO much!  There’s nothing quite like getting together with family and great friends!

One of the nights we were there, my sister and I collaborated on a dinner.  Our family size has grown over the years, so meals are getting bigger, which means more planning is involved.  But I really like doing this!  I love to cook, and so does she, so we really enjoy this part of our weekend!

For this particular dinner, we wanted something delicious, but it also had to be easy.  Everything is so much more fun when things are kept simple.  So we opted for a Greek theme…everyone loves Greek Salad and chicken, so this dinner was perfect!

The Menu:
Greek Chicken Marinade
Greek Salad
Garlic Toast
Tzatziki Sauce

This meal is simple to make.  It’s quick.  And so flavourful! The chicken is SO moist and pairs beautifully with the crispness of the salad…mmmmm
