Just because I almost never grill boneless skinless chicken breasts doesn’t mean I shouldn’t teach those who do the best way to do it. That’s the official reason I’m posting this. The actual reason is that I was looking for an excuse to consume large quantities of whipped feta. Enjoy!

I have done quite a few food wishes recipes but this has to be one of the best ever. I did make a few alterations. I used thighs instead, cut them into smaller pieces & did them kabob style. After they browned I wrapped them in foil & tossed them on the cooler side of the grill. I also made too much marinade so I marinated some zucchini also & cooked it on the hot side while the chicken was on the cool side. I was a bit worried the whipped feta would be too much so I added a big boy (dots not slots) eggplant I grilled with the peppers & onions. I ended up adding the red pepper to the feta too. The store I usually shop at has crummy pita so I went with naan & made a wrap. Probably the best dinner I've had in months. I want another now but I'm too full.

Mixing feta with milk and/or yogurt give the basic filling for Greek cheese pie. It is usually surrounded by phyllo dough although there are other variations of it. In Greek it is called tiropira (τυρόπιτα). It is the most popular choice for breakfast here and I think that people would love it if you walk them through into making it. Especially now since you figured out the feta + yogurt combination. :)

I know the sodium in this one won't work, but that is where the tweaking comes in. These recipes are a huge help as far as starting points to modify for him and I am really grateful for the help and starting points to help him have a longer happy life with good food all the way.

I would not have tried this if it weren’t for BSCB being on sale for $1.99/lb. Had the butcher wrap up one breast. Then I scooped up 1/3 pound of an olive and cubed feta mix from the olive bar because it cost less per pound than feta. I wanted a single serving of whole milk Greek yogurt, but only found nonfat, so I bought that one. Picked up a tiny tub of sour cream to fortify the yogurt. Mint, parsley, and oregano I have growing at home. Total with tax came to $6.10, not too hateful for these trying times. I have RWV, olive oil, spices in the pantry. Happened to have one lemon left last night. Thanks for feeding me, Chef.

We make something like the whipped feta thing here in Bulgaria, it's called katak (Turkish name probably, but you can get decent results when googling the term). We also add paprika and grilled red peppers to it. Personally I find that a bit of sweetness from those makes the whole thing better, since just yoghurt and feta can end up a bit too tangy and almost sour.

Made this last night, came out really well! Nice flavors, marinated chicken for about 2 hours, the whipped feta with the yogurt and lemon zest is a nice compliment to the chicken. I skipped the tile but used a square dinner plate and arranged the whipped feta in the middle, sliced a chicken breast and placed it on top. I surrounded it with salad greens and made a greek vinaigrette for the salad. My wife grows mixed salad greens, and various herbs including parsley and mint...so it was quite a flavor burst and a pretty dish; I pan cooked the chicken though, flavor still good. Great recipe Chef John, will bookmark and use again.

Makes grilling them much easier and more uniform penetration of the marinade. I forgot to buy a lemon so I used a couple of drops of lemon juice in the whipped feta (seriously, just a few drops - MAYBE a 1/4 teaspoon) and it was still really good without lemon overpowering it.
