If there's one dinner that I crave time and time again, it's definitely a Greek salad. There's something about the simplicity and freshness of a tomato, cucumber, olive, and red onion salad with a heavy hand of feta that always sounds SO delicious at the end of a long day. This salad is taken to the next level with golden brown baked pita wedges and yogurt-marinated chicken breasts. A brief marinade in the yogurt helps to tenderize the protein while imparting a rich flavor throughout. If you don't feel like firing up the grill, you can always cook the chicken on a grill pan, on a cast iron, or in the oven. Whatever works for your weeknight hustle!
