Mediterranean Chicken Loaf

 

     If you are looking for a easy dinner idea, this is one to try.  Super easy to turn into a wrap, salad or main.  I combined mine with rice, chickpeas, pickles, tomatoes and a homemade Tahini dressing.  So the hardest thing you will do is decide how you want to serve it up!  Not to mention, great as leftovers, so get crazy and try it several different ways!

Ingredients~

2 pounds of Chicken Breast cut into smaller pieces

5.3oz 2% Fage Greek Yogurt

1/2 cup Lemon Juice

1/4 cup Olive Oil

1 Tablespoon chopped Garlic

Dash Cayenne Pepper

     Cut Chicken into pieces as desired.  Combine marinade ingredients into gallon ziplock bag, add Chicken and rest in fridge over night, up to 24 hours, flip over often.  When ready, line loaf pan with parchment paper, add Chicken to pan, bake at 400 for 1 hour, remove, cool to touch, slice as desired, use in a variety of ways.  I did mine in a Salad with Rice, Chickpeas, Tomatoes, Pickles and Tahini Dressing.  Enjoy 😊
