GRILLED CHICKEN AND KALE GREEK SALAD

Steps:

• Toss the chicken with the salad dressing in a large resealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade, pat dry with a paper towel, and sprinkle on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken until cooked through (165 degrees F), 7 to 8 minutes per side. Let cool, then cut into bite-size pieces.
• Toss together the cucumbers, onions, kale, couscous, feta, tomatoes, olives and dill in a large bowl. Add the grilled chicken and drizzle with the desired amount of dressing. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with the crispy chickpeas.

GRILLED CHICKEN PAILLARD WITH GREEK SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat, about 375 degrees F. Alternatively, heat a grill pan over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, place 1 chicken breast in a large resealable bag. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/2 inch thick. Transfer to a baking sheet or large plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Drizzle the chicken with 1 to 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil and then season each side with salt and pepper.
• Grill the chicken until cooked through and grill marks appear, 3 to 5 minutes per side. About 2 minutes before the chicken is done, grill the halved lemons, cut-side down.
• While the chicken is grilling, make the salad: Combine the arugula with the olives, tomatoes and feta in a large bowl. Tear the basil leaves and oregano and add them to the bowl. Add the juice from 1 of the grilled lemons, the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Toss together until evenly coated in with the dressing. Taste and add more salt or pepper, if needed.
• Remove the chicken to a large platter. Mound the salad on top. Cut the remaining grilled lemon into wedges and place on the platter. Serve family style.

GRILLED GREEK SUMMER SALAD

Steps:

• For the sweet Greek dressing: Whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard, oregano and garlic in a bowl. Slowly stream in the olive oil while whisking. Add salt and pepper to taste. Measure out 1/2 cup of the dressing for marinating the chicken. Set aside the remaining dressing for drizzling on the salad.
• For the chicken: Put the chicken in a nonreactive container, pour the reserved 1/2 cup sweet Greek dressing over it and toss to coat. Marinate the chicken, refrigerated, for 2 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• Oil the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the chicken until golden on each side and the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F, 7 to 8 minutes per side. Let rest before slicing.
• For the salad: Brush each romaine half with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on high on the cut sides until slightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Place a seared romaine half on a serving plate. Line up some tomatoes, feta, olives, cucumbers, onions and sliced chicken atop the romaine. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Drizzle with the sweet Greek dressing. Garnish with cracked black pepper and sea salt and serve.
