GREEK CHICKEN AND TOMATO SALAD
A small amount of seared and roasted chicken breast transforms this tomato-centric Greek salad into something substantial enough to eat as a main dish for lunch or a light supper.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season the chicken breasts well with salt and pepper. Toss them in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Heat a grill pan or a cast iron pan over high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 2 minutes on each side, until grill marks appear if using a grill pan, or until nicely browned if using a regular pan. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees when inserted in the thickest part. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile place the sliced onion in a bowl and cover with water. Soak for 5 minutes, drain and rinse well. Drain on paper towels.
- When the chicken is cool enough to handle tear it into bite-size pieces or a little bigger than bite-size and place in bowl. Add the onion, tomatoes and olives. Season with salt and pepper and toss with the lemon juice, vinegar and remaining olive oil. Add the mint and feta and toss again.
- Line a platter or wide salad bowl with the lettuce. Top with the chicken and tomato salad, and serve.

GREEK CHICKEN
A very good light summer dish. I serve it with sliced tomatoes, feta cheese, and garlic bread.

GREEK CHICKEN WITH CUCUMBER-FETA SALAD
This meal has the flavors of a Greek combination plate with chicken souvlaki, Greek salad and tzatziki, but it is streamlined for the home cook. Boneless chicken thighs are coated with herby, garlicky yogurt, then seared until tender inside and crusty and browned outside. Extra yogurt dresses cucumbers and tomatoes that have had a chance to drain with salt so they taste their most vivid. Feta and olives add briny bites to the creamy, crunchy salad, but feel free to incorporate other elements of Greek salad or tzatziki, like romaine lettuce, bell peppers, mint or dill, toasted walnuts or thinly sliced red onion. Eat with lemon potatoes or toasted pita.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the yogurt and garlic; season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer 1/2 cup of the yogurt to a medium bowl and reserve for Step 5.
- Coat the chicken: To the large bowl, add the oregano and stir to combine. Season the chicken all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the chicken to the large bowl and turn to coat; set aside.
- Start the salad: Smash the cucumbers with the side of your knife until craggy and split. Rip into ½- to 1-inch pieces and transfer to a colander placed in the sink. Slice or chop the tomatoes into bite-size pieces. Add to the cucumbers along with 1 ½ teaspoons salt. (It may seem like a lot of salt, but most will drain away.) Toss to combine and leave to drain.
- In a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium. Scrape excess marinade off the chicken, then cook the chicken in batches, adding oil to the pan if necessary, until it's well browned and releases from the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through, another 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to plates to rest. (For grilling info, see Tip.)
- To the medium bowl of yogurt, add the feta and mash with a fork until a chunky paste forms. Shake the cucumbers and tomatoes to get rid of any excess moisture. Add to the feta yogurt along with the olives and stir until coated. The balance is dependent on your produce and feta, so season to taste with salt and pepper until flavors are vivid. Eat alongside the chicken.
GRILLED CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES AND CORN
While you could rest grilled chicken on a cutting board to ensure the juices don't run out of the meat when it's sliced, a more delicious option is to place the chicken on a pile of tomatoes, corn and red onion. The seasoned drippings act as a no-effort warm dressing, bolstering the flavor of the vegetables and softening their raw edges. Before grilling, the chicken is rubbed with chili powder, the spice mix that typically includes dried oregano, garlic, onion, cumin and ground chiles, for complex flavor with minimal effort. Fresh oregano, while optional, emphasizes the herbs in the chili powder. Use this technique of resting grilled proteins on fresh produce for many summer dinners: pork chops on peaches, steak on chopped scallions and ginger, sausages on radicchio and halloumi on citrus.

Steps:
- Heat the grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, coat the chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set aside. (You can do this step up to 1 day ahead; refrigerate and bring to room temperature before cooking.)
- On a large platter, layer the tomatoes, corn kernels, red onion and fresh oregano (if using). Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- When ready to grill, clean the grates with a grill brush, then lightly grease the grates. Grill the chicken until browned and cooked through, and it releases easily from the grates, 5 to 7 minutes per side. (If flare-ups occur, move the chicken to an area of the grill with smaller flames underneath. For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and peeking occasionally for flare-ups.)
- Transfer the chicken to the platter. Let rest for 5 to 20 minutes before serving.
