Grilled Lemon Chicken with Feta Dressing on Grilled Thyme Bread

Lemon is the star of this meal. The marinade is for the chicken and to brush on the bread when grilling. I make this meal for picnics, Sunday afternoons, etc. It is just so refreshing. I have made it with marinaded vegetables instead of chicken for Meatless Mondays. You can shape the bread to be thin and crispy or thicker with a bit of a pull to it. Oblong or round... it is your preference. The feta dressing gives it that extra tang and creaminess. - MyCommunalTable

Ingredients:

  • 5 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 gloves garlic, chopped
  • salt & pepper, to taste
  • handful of fresh thyme
  • 4 chicken breasts, pounded down slightly or thinly sliced
  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • 1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoon buttermilk
  • 3 tablespoon greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • s&p, to taste
  • sesame oil, a few drops

Directions:

  1. Mix up marinade in a jar with lid: Lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, s&p, and shake well.
  2. Place chicken in a shallow dish and cover with marinade. Leaving about 1/3 of marinade to brush on bread later. Then place thyme in chicken dish and toss well.
  3. Pizza dough is at room temperature and grill or grill pan is set on medium. Form bread rounds to your desired thickness and shape. Brush one side with marinade. Place marinaded side on the grill.
  4. When bread is cooking on the first side, brush top side with marinade and then place thyme leaves all over the top of the bread. Push the leaves into the bread slightly.
  5. Flip the bread over on the other side when it has reached desired crispness. Grill second side and then pull off grill. Finish all the bread. Set aside.
  6. Grill the marinading chicken until cooked through on both sides. Pull off heat
  7. Assemble sandwich as desired and top with Feta dressing. (recipe below)
  8. Condiment suggestions: cucumber, green onions, radish and/or any grilled vegetable (of course, use the lemon marinade on veggies)
  9. Mix together and served chilled.
