To start, gather up your ingredients. You will need: 1 red bell pepper, 1 to 1.5 tablespoons minced garlic (mine was pre-minced from the store), 2 small tomatoes or 1 large tomato, a handful of feta cheese, spring mix leaves, 1 medium red onion, 1 (store bought) roasted chicken.
The real time saver in this recipe is buying a pre-roasted chicken from the store. Then take the already cooked and flavored chicken and shred it with your hands.
Chop up your bell pepper, tomato, and onion. Toss all your ingredients into a large bowl and mix well. Set aside.
Now we are going to make a sauce that is vaguely reminiscent of tzatziki sauce. You will need plain Greek yoghurt and dill weed. Use as much or as little as you want of each. I just bought a single portion of Greek yoghurt and mixed in dill weed until the yoghurt looked fairly peppered with green.
Lastly, prepare your sides. I had pita bread and strawberries with my salad. Add a glass of wine and you're good to go!
For final presentation I placed the bowl of fake tzatziki sauce in the middle of the table. I spread it over my pita bread slices and then piled it high with salad, eating it like an open face sandwich. Even my dog thought it smelled great and sat around begging until I gave him some chicken. This takes about 20 to 30 minutes to prepare (depending on your chopping speed) so you can easily put this all together after work. Bon appétit!
Seriously buying a rotisserie chicken and then shredding it is maybe the most genius idea I have ever heard! Why have I never thought of that before!?

Deletegreat recipe & your photos are excellent, this looks like a kebab I love the greek version but I wouldn't mind trying this. xo
ReplyDeleteThe Greek version will always be the best! Kebabs are delicious, too. This can work as a place holder between days when you can actually make it to a Greek restaurant. :)
