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.

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 for direct heat or on high. Grill the chicken breasts on both sides until cooked, flipping the breasts every couple minutes (usually about 6-12 minutes total depending on chicken thickness and heat of grill).
  • 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!
