Maroulosalata (Greek Salad)

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cut the chicken breast into cubes and add to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Orzo Pilaf

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened. Add orzo and stir for 1-2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for 10-12 minutes until orzo is cooked and liquid is absorbed. Stir in chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken Kebabs

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.

  4. 4

    Make the Maroulosalata

    In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, diced cucumber, diced tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently. Top with crumbled feta cheese.

  5. 5

    Serve
