Delicious! Served the marinated chicken (we used thighs--yum) over a bed of quinoa with diced cukes, green onion, and parsley. The feta dressing tied it all together fabulously for a summery picnic kind of meal.

Thanks so much. I love chicken thighs as well. I use the dressing for all sorts of things. I have also used goats cheese instead of feta. Glad you enjoyed.

LOVED this! Will become a recipe on my rotation for sure. My girls had fun shaping their own dough and gobbled it up! The bread turned out amazing on the grill. Thank you!!

I do boneless, skinless thighs in a similar marinade, but love the addition of the bread and dressing!

This looks terrific! Perfect for a casual dinner around my house. I love using the pizza dough.

Thanks. The pizza dough makes it super easy, besides my son has egg and dairy allergies as well as other food allergies,so this bread works great for him. No feta dressing for him. I think that he is missing the best part, but he like is with just the chicken and extra lemon squeezed on.

Hey, thanks. I usually have the feta dressing made up in the fridge and use it on a lot of stuff. I also use goat cheese or blue cheese.

I also use the 0% fat Greek yogurt, so the dressing is a nice alternative to mayo.
