Grilled Chicken Chopped Greek Salad

Such an easy-peasy Summer dinner!

Feel free to substitute other chopped fresh vegetables, such as broccoli or bell peppers, for the tomatoes or cucumber. Use leftover chicken, store-roasted chicken or quickly poach a couple boneless, skinless chicken breasts while you prepare the rest of the salad.

ALL THE BEST,

Balsamic Flank Steak Marinade - 21 Day Fix Approved!

A wonderful flank steak on the grill recipe I invented that everyone in the family just loves!  My kids think this is great, and it doesn't take long to grill. This also works great when sliced and used for fajitas.

And, the sweetness?  How do you add some sweetness without adding unhealthy sugar?

Honey, of course. It's nature's pure, unprocessed sugar supply, and along with balsamic vinegar it contributes just the slightest hint of sweet to a grilled steak. You've got heart-healthy garlic and olive oil in this one, too, as well as fresh rosemary.

Balsamic Flank Steak Marinade - 21 Day Fix Approved!

To create a rosemary-honey-balsamic marinade, whisk together:
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary needles
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (fresh is best)

Marinate steak in this mixture for up to 24 hours before grilling for a sweet-tangy feast.

Preheat grill for medium-high heat.

Oil the grill grate. Place steaks on the grill, and discard the marinade. Grill meat for 5 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.


(21 Day Fixers:  Measure out your steak in red container, and count marinade as approximately 1 tsp. and 1 orange.)

ALL THE BEST,

Weekly Meal Plan: July 6-12th -- WHY Meal-Planning Works!

Weekly Meal Plan:  July 6-12th -- WHY Meal-Planning Works!

Meal planning will streamline evenings in the home.

Parents are saved money, time, and mounds of frustration because they know what the brood’s having for dinner, days ahead of time. There’s no scrambling in the kitchen or supermarket, since both shopping and cooking are refined practically to a science. Kids (sometimes) get to have a say in what they eat, too, which makes the whole thing a family activity rather than merely a parental chore.

All in all, it’s a fantastic strategy. Even better, EVERYBODY can use it.

Weekly Meal Plan:  July 6-12th

Monday:  Turkey Taco Quinoa Bake                        

Tuesday:  Baked Kid-Friendly Chicken Tenders                  

Wednesday:  Greek Salad with Feta & Grilled Flank Steak                            

Thursday:  Grilled Chicken Sausage & Vegetables                             

Friday:  Leftovers

ALL of these dinners are 21-Day Fix compliant.  The rest of my meals are composed of:

If you would like to participate in one of my upcoming monthly online accountability groups (21 Day Fix), please get in touch with me here.  I would love for you to join me.
