Tasty Greek Chicken Milanese

I just got back from Colombia where I ate my weight in carbs. There was so much bread and delicious fried empanadas. I ate it all up. No guilt. That’s usually my motto when I travel. I try and immerse myself in the experience. I hardly ever watch what I eat, though it luckily is always offset with lots of walking. I love walking and walking through a city or town is the best way to experience it.

When I got back into town, the first thing I wanted was to get back into my routine of healthy eating and balance. I whipped up this Greek Milanese, a riff on one of my favorite salads. Yes, it’s pan-fried chicken so the healthy factor is a bit debatable but I usually eat far more salad than chicken with this dish. The Greek salad is my favorite type of salad: full of crispy cucumbers, an acid-driven dressing and a good amount of feta cheese. It’s snappy, filling and refreshing all at the same time! No small fete.
