Tips on How To Make This Recipe

  • You can serve the grilled greek chicken filling in so many other things. It doesn’t need to be between a burger bun. Pita bread, gyro flatbread, tortillas, baguette, you name it and choose your outside wrap! The possibilities are endless and the flavors are outstanding.
  • We marinate the chicken in a quick and easy marinade that’s loaded with flavor. Grill the chicken to a nice crispy char and the flavors blend perfectly together with the cool, crisp and tangy greek salad. It’s such a refreshing salad, the flavors are clean, bright and delicious.
  • It’s definitely a lighter option to a great lunch sandwich because we don’t add any mayo or extra cheese. But you can certainly add what ever your heart desires.

Instructions 

Make the Greek Salad

  • In large bowl whisk together all the dressing ingredients (olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and dill). Taste the dressing and adjust salt, pepper or additional seasonings, to taste.
  • Add cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives, feta cheese and parsley. Gently stir everything together to coat with the dressing. Add additional fresh lemon zest or juice (optional) to taste. Set aside.

  • Assemble the sandwich: Add chicken and top with the greek salad between two buns or your choice of bread. Add a beer, grab some friends and enjoy!

Check out a Few of our Favorite BBQs & Tools:

Some tools, grills, and smokers make BBQ and grilling all the more enjoyable. Here’s some of the favorites:

 

The Ultimate BBQ Tongs –
Avoid BBQ Tool Sets. We’ve yet to find a set where we love everything in it. Either the spatula or the tongs or the brush is wonky. Or there is stuff in there I never need. Do yourself a favor and just buy what you need a la carte. For grilling tongs, these bad boys are awesome.
Meathead: The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling –
Have a grilling or BBQ question, you’ll most likely find an answer here. The most comprehensive grilling & BBQ book we’ve ever found, by far. He breaks down the science and myths, the tools, solid recipes, perfecting techniques, what’s BBQ competition tricks aren’t worth the extra time at home, and much more. You will be grill & BBQ enlightened.
Oasity BBQ Light –
Grilling should never be confined to the daylight. Love this BBQ light. Good brightness, solid magnets plus clamp option. We’ve gone through 1/2 dozen different grilling lights before falling in love with this one. Be ready to grill all night long.
Oklahoma Joe’s Reverse Flow Offset Smoker –
Love this offset smoker. Solid construction. Isn’t perfect, but with a couple easy modifications it will smoke as well as the $1k + smokers. Can use the main chamber also as a regular charcoal grill. Love using it as a regular grill using lump charcoal or briquettes. Huge cooking surface.
Charbroil 4-burner Gas Grill –
One of the best for the money. Solid gas grill! Nothing like the quick convenience of a good gas grill.
Grill Baskets –
Some days we just need to keep the little things contained on the grill. Throw them all into a basket and grill from there. Easy-peasy.
