- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg

For the Salad:

- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
To start, make the dumplings by combining the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, and thyme in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Roll the dough into small balls and set aside.
Next, prepare the chicken by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, and thyme in a bowl. Add the chicken to the bowl and toss to coat. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool.
While the chicken is cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dumplings to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove from the pot and set aside.
To assemble the salad, arrange the mixed greens on a plate. Top with the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, and fresh parsley. Slice the chicken and add it to the salad. Top with the dumplings and drizzle with any remaining dressing.
This Greek-inspired Lemon Chicken Dumpling Salad is a perfect combination of flavors and textures. The tender chicken, tangy lemon, and savory dumplings are perfectly balanced with the fresh vegetables and herbs. This dish is light and refreshing, making it perfect for a summer meal. It is also easy to make and can be prepared in advance, making it a great option for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner.
