For boneless, skinless chicken breasts, which can be difficult to prepare because they are frequently bland and dry, I’m sharing with you my go-to marinade and grilling approach. In addition, I’ll demonstrate how to make whipped feta, which has become one of my new food favorites. Greek olives are a nice addition to the dish when served with grilled red onion and red bell pepper.

Really delicious! I added a dipping sauce of rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and a bit of chili paste. So good!!
It was fantastic! Only additions were 2 Tbs peanut butter and a bunch of chopped peanuts to the sauce. You’ll love it.
My husband was not at all excited by the idea of these lettuce wraps but after the first bite he apologized profusely for doubting me and loaded up his plate with seconds!
