Mediterranean-Style Salad with Yogurt Dressing and Spicy Grilled Chicken


Eating out or calling a delivery hotline is always tempting especially for those who come home uber exhausted from work. We actually see this situation on TV every single day. But what many do not know is that there's pleasure in cooking your own food. It makes you creative. It allows you to spend some time with yourself or a loved one. It gives you a sense of accomplishment and pride.

Now here's something very quick for those who say they don't have time to cook. It'll take you not more than 10 minutes to create this healthy, simple and satisfying meal.

Cut some romaine lettuce (about 400 grams) into not more than 1 inch wide. Toss in black olives, capers, sun-dried tomatoes, capers and feta cheese.

In a separate bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of plain yogurt, add salt and pepper to taste. Pour the dressing into your veggies and toss thoroughly.



For the protein, rub 2 pcs of chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon crushed garlic, 1 teaspoon each of chili powder, paprika and cayenne powder. Add a few dash of salt, pepper and dried thyme.

Coat a pan with olive oil and heat over medium fire. Fry each side of the meat for about two minutes. Let it rest for about five minutes before slicing.



Happy eating!
