Common questions

What is the best chicken to use?

To make this recipe come together quickly, I recommend using chicken tenders, as they are the quickest to cut into cubes since they are already so small. I also really love this recipe with boneless, skinless chicken thighs because they are so forgiving if you slightly overcook them (which can happen quickly when they are cut small like this).

What if you don’t have greek dressing?

If you don’t have Greek dressing on hand, you can make your own greek marinade by combining:

• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 1/2 tablespoon dijon dressing
• 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano

Can you make this for meal prep

Yes! However, I find that the chicken really needs to make contact with the hot skillet to get that brown crust and overcrowding the pan can make this hard. I would recommend only making 1- 2 pounds of chicken at a time in a very large skillet for best results.
