We are all about delicious salad vibes in these warmer months, and this
Greek-style roast chicken salad ticks all the boxes.
Greek-style Roast Chicken Salad
(Serves 4)
You'll need: 4 medium size chicken
breasts, skin on (bones removed);
Olive oil for drizzling (plus
extra); Salt and pepper; 250g small
mixed tomatoes, halved; 1 large
red pepper, roughly chopped;
300g courgettes, sliced into bitesize
chunks; 2 red onions, peeled
and cut into wedges; A handful
of baby salad leaves (optional);
2 rounds of feta, sliced or kept
whole; ½ cup of kalamata olives;
A handful of fresh origanum
leaves (or basil or mint); 1 teaspoon
dried origanum; Red wine
vinegar for drizzling (or fresh
lemon juice).
To make:
Preheat the oven to 200°C. On
a large baking tray lined with
baking paper, arrange the chicken
(skin side up) next to the tomatoes,
peppers, courgettes and red
onions. Drizzle all over with olive
oil, then season generously with
salt and pepper. Roast for about
20 minutes until the chicken is
just cooked through and the vegetables
are slightly charred, then
remove from the oven and leave
to rest. Slice the chicken and get
ready to plate. On a large platter,
arrange the baby leaves, then
top with the sliced chicken
breast, roasted vegetables,
feta, olives and fresh origanum.
Sprinkle with dried
origanum, drizzle with more
olive oil all over and a touch
of red wine vinegar, then
serve at once (with some
crusty bread on the side).
