We prepare salads

Each housewife prepares a Greek salad with chicken with various ingredients. Someone adds pepper, and someone prefers to fill not with olive oil, but with grape or sesame oil. Here are a few options for the dish.

The specified ingredients in the recipe are calculated on two portions, if you need more, increase their quantity by 2-3 times.

To prepare a Greek salad with chicken, take a few tomatoes, a few small cucumbers, "Feta" cheese, gram 60 (but you can take more) and the head of purple onions. Do not forget about the main ingredient - half a kilo of chicken fillet. Further you will need oil for frying (it is better to use olive, as for refueling), a spoonful of lemon juice, a gram of 80 olives without pits and without stuffing. For spiciness, take a spoonful of oregano (you can have a dried one, you can have a fresh one), a few cloves of garlic, a pinch of pepper and greens (parsley or any other of your choice).

Let's start cooking. The fillet should be washed, cut the skin and fat. While the fillet will dry up, you need to make a marinade: combine pepper, chopped garlic and lemon juice, add butter and oregano, mix. Fillet we put in a sleeve for baking or a usual polyethylene food bag, we pour in marinade there and we tie it. Now it is necessary to twist the package a little so that the chicken is completely covered with the aroma of the marinade and it has been soaked with oil. Now put the chicken for impregnation in the refrigerator, not forgetting to periodically turn it over (keep at least 4 hours and not longer than a day). Ideally, the chicken can be marinated in the evening, and in the morning make a salad.

The necessary time has passed and you have pulled out the chicken. Now it needs to be fried in a frying pan or on a grill. If in the first case you can use aromatic marinated oil for cooking, then in the second it needs to be drained. Since the whole chicken will be prepared for a long time, cut it into convenient pieces, plates or cubes.

After frying, the chicken should be put on a napkin, allow to cool slightly and drain excess oil.

Let's start processing the vegetables. They need to be washed if there is a need to peel off the onions (onions and cucumbers) and cut into large cubes or large arbitrary pieces. Add the fried pieces of chicken, sliced or torn greens and pour all the oil. Top with sprinkled cheese and chopped in half or circles olives. Here, in fact, everything - a Greek salad with chicken is ready. It should be noted that the bird does not need to be fried - there are options when adding smoked or boiled chicken. To the vegetables, Bulgarian pepper is often added, and cheese "Feta" is replaced with cheese. Decorating the vegetables with lettuce leaves, we'll get another Greek salad with chicken.

Now you know how to tasty and quickly feed unexpected guests or their household members. Most importantly, the salad is full of vitamins and useful elements that are found in vegetables, greens and cheese.
