EPICURE'S GREEK CHICKEN SOUVLAKI

Tonight I made the most delicious chicken souvlaki we've ever eaten. I would say one part due to the delicious marinade and one part due to my husband's amazing job of cooking the chicken perfectly (not overcooked, was still juicy and tender). Seriously, this was to die for and was so easy to make. This will definitely be added to my list of foods to make for my next dinner party.

EPICURE'S GREEK CHICKEN SOUVLAKI

Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup prepared Epicure's Chicken Bouillon
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp Epicure's Greek Seasoning
  • 2 tsp Epicure's Souvlaki Seasoning (I used Epicure's Roast Chicken Seasoning)
  • 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
Directions:
  • Mix together first 5 ingredients in a large mixing bowl
  • Add chicken and toss to coat. Can be marinated in a sealed container and refrigerated until ready to cook
  • Place chicken pieces on skewers and grill for 5-10 minutes each side until cooked. 
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

AVOCADO FETA SALAD

Well, it's been an extremely busy last couple of weeks travelling and visiting family. Tonight, I finally had an opportunity to make a supper that didn't involve pasta and a slightly new version of a pasta sauce. I have a great love for avocado and am always trying new recipes to use them up before they are over-ripe. This salad was super simple and very fresh tasting. You could easily take this to work for lunch and add the liquid ingredients (dressing) right before eating.

AVOCADO FETA SALAD

Ingredients:
  • 1 avocado, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
  • 1-2 roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 1-2 small cucumbers, cut into quarters
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • feta, amount as desired
Directions:
  • Mix above ingredients together and serve!
