If you remember, not too long ago I made a dish similar to this. The Greek Chicken and Greek Yogurt Dill Sauce. (I will post link to it below.) This is basically the same thing, only added to a salad, with some chickpeas! Salads are one of those things I love, but it always gets thought of as a starter or side, and never as the main event. But to make things easy I made this to be the whole shebang of your dinner. No need to mess with sides. No need for a few different plates for different things, just one bowl/dish… one love. Haha. Not to mention I love my chicken made this way, it reminds me of a chicken gyro kind of, and decently healthy? I’m not a health foods specialist or expert by any means, and there is some sodium from seasonings added to this, but remember when you are holding the spatula, spoon, whisk, knife, whatever kitchen utensil you are using, you are in control, so always play around and add or subtract what ya need to, to dishes. That is the whole magic in it anyways, right? I hope you enjoy.
