  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
  • 1 tsp fresh ground pepper

  • 6 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 cucumber cut into bite sized chunks
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives

Instructions

Greek Chicken Marinade:

  • Combine all of the ingredients for the marinade, then pour over 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts.
    1 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice, 3 cloves garlic, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp dried oregano, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tsp fresh ground pepper
  • Marinate the chicken in the fridge for at least 1 hour, but overnight is best!
  • When ready, barbecue the chicken on a medium to high heat grill. The chicken is done when the internal temp reaches 165 degrees F, so about 12-15 minutes.

Greek Salad:

  • Combine all the ingredients for the salad dressing. Set aside. (the salad can be made ahead of time)
    6 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
  • In a salad bowl combine all the salad ingredients, except for the feta cheese.
    2 cups chopped romaine lettuce, 2 tomatoes, 1 green pepper, 1 small red onion, 1 cucumber, 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
  • Pour the salad dressing over the salad, and mix.
  • Sprinkle on the feta cheese.
    3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Notes

Please NOTE: Because the chicken is marinated in olive oil, it will flare up on the BBQ! Just flip the chicken until the flaring dies down. Keep a water bottle nearby.
