I have to admit that I’m so ready for warm weather and the bright flavors of Springtime food. I was so excited to see asparagus and strawberries in my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) veggies this week. Spring is here in S.C….the weather was even warm! So, inspired by fresh flavors I ended up making this Paleo Greek Chicken. It was so easy!
The marinade is actually the Greek Salad Dressing from my ebook, Squeaky Clean Paleo: 100+ Recipes to Beat Boredom and Ditch Cravings (check it out here). It makes a really easy dressing for salads, but as I found out it makes a delicious marinade for chicken and other meats. It was a great way to celebrate the start of Spring!
