  • A whole cup of rich Greek yogurt roughly 235ml
  • A double measure of olive oil that's 2 tablespoons or about 30ml

  • Two cloves of garlic minced to perfection
  • 1 teaspoon of aromatic dried oregano
  • A touch of salt and pepper about 1/2 a teaspoon each

  • A full cup of juicy cherry tomatoes halved (approximately 150g)
  • 1 crunchy cucumber sliced
  • Half of a red onion sliced thin
  • A half cup of delicious Kalamata olives roughly 65g
  • A sprinkling of Feta cheese crumbled, about 70g or 1/2 cup

Method
 

How it’s done:
  1. Mix Greek yogurt, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. This is your flavor-packed marinade.
  2. Give your chicken a good bath in the marinade until thoroughly coated.
  3. Pop it in the fridge for a couple of hours.
  4. When you're ready, crank up your grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Grill your chicken for about 6-7 minutes each side until it's cooked just right.
  6. While your chicken is cooling off, assemble your salad with greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and Feta cheese.
  7. Slice up the cooked chicken and place it right on top of the salad.
  8. Pro tips to elevate your dish:
  9. An overnight marinade can take your chicken to the next level.
  10. A meat thermometer can be your secret weapon for perfectly cooked chicken.
  11. A little balsamic glaze adds a touch of sweet contrast.

Serving it up:
The Greek Yogurt Chicken Souvlaki Salad is a standalone winner. But if you want some accompaniments, warm pita bread and a cool non-alcoholic beverage would make perfect sidekicks. Enjoy the contrast of warm chicken slices with the cool, fresh salad.
