Instructions
For the Chicken
In bowl or plastic bag combine chicken breasts, olive oil, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Stir together or shake the bag to make sure all the marinade gets evenly mixed and coated over the chicken. For best flavor, marinade the chicken for at least 25 minutes before cooking.
Heat the grill and grill the chicken breasts on both sides until cooked.
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 bowl: Add about 1 cup of your favorite healthy grain, add chicken and top with the greek salad. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grab and fork or spoon and enjoy!
