Attention Family! I've been saying it for years, now I am preparing you for when it happens, I am retiring from cooking in less than 5 years. The only thing I will make is my morning coffee, and that is only because I am too lazy to get dressed and go out for it!

Mediterranean Chicken Salad

Okay, today I will give you a few instructions for making this, mostly this recipe involves chopping!

Mediterranean Chicken Salad

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast
greek seasoning, use Montreal Steak seasoning if you don't have Greek
1/2 cucumber
1/2 red bell pepper
8 ounces Greek yoghurt
4 to 6 ounces feta cheese
1/2 teaspoon oregano
salt, pepper

Trim fat and yuck from chicken breast. Slice in half through the plane to make them thinner-they will cook faster and you will be finished faster! Lightly season both sides of chicken. Cook chicken in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. While chicken is cooking, put Greek yoghurt in large container (preferably one with a lid). Cut feta cheese into small pieces - cut vertical slices through block of feta, turn 90 degrees and cut perpendicular slices through block, now turn block on its side and cut again. Add cheese to container. Peel and dice cucumber - remove seeds from cucumber if they are large. Add cucumber to container. Flip chicken over in frying pan to cook the other side. Wash and seed bell pepper. Cut pepper into small bite size chunks and add to container. Add oregano to container. When chicken is done, cut into small bite sized pieces and add to container. Do not over cook chicken or it will be tough. Chicken is done when there is no pink on the inside of the chicken piece. Stir concoction in container well. If chicken salad seems dry, add more yoghurt, or sour cream, or mayo. Store in fridge. Check the taste before serving, it made need salt and pepper, depending on how much seasoning you used on the chicken. Serve in pita bread that has been cut in half - lettuce and tomatoes make it a really nice sandwich. Serves 4. Make sure you make enough for A. to take to lunch the next day.

  1. Another yum! This stuff is really good on just about anything - crackers, pickles, lettuce, pita bread, other breads...the list goes on. Basically this is meal in itself as it has meat, cheese, vegetables, all the good stuff. Absolutely excellent lunch food.
