Easy and Delicious Chicken Greek Salad Dinner Recipes

         We Love Greek food and were spoiled with really good Greek restaurants close to us so when we moved I had to come up with recipes of our favorites. 

I loved it when my oldest son Blake came down stairs last night for dinner, he said, "It smells really good. " He loves food and he comes by it honestly:) I love it when people enjoy the food I make-it makes all the effort worthwhile:)
