Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup greek-style vinaigrette
- 4 cups fresh baby spinach
- 2 diced english cucumbers
- 3 diced roma tomatoes
- 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup chopped marinated artichoke hearts
- 1/2 cup chopped kalamata olives
- 1/2 cup small pepperoni slices (optional)
- 1/4 cup sliced pepperoncini
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon greek seasoning blend (optional)
- 1/4 cup greek-style vinaigrette
- 4 cups cottage cheese
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts into a bowl or a resealable plastic bag containing Greek vinaigrette.
Ensure the chicken is fully coated with the marinade.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Step 2: Grill the Chicken
Preheat your grill to 350°F (175°C).
Once preheated, place the marinated chicken breasts onto the grill.
Cook each side for 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes to retain its juices and flavor.
Step 3: Prepare the Salad Ingredients
While the chicken is grilling, gather and prepare the salad ingredients.
In a large bowl, combine baby spinach, diced English cucumbers, diced Roma tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, chopped marinated artichoke hearts, chopped kalamata olives, small pepperoni (if using), sliced pepperoncini, red wine vinegar, and Greek Freak seasoning blend (if using).
Toss the ingredients together to distribute evenly.
Step 4: Assemble the Salad
Once the grilled chicken has rested, cube it into bite-sized pieces and add it to the bowl with the salad ingredients.
Pour additional Greek vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss everything together until well coated.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
To serve, place a generous pile of cottage cheese on each plate.
Top with the mixed salad and grilled chicken.
Enjoy this delicious and protein-packed meal!
