Delicious Greek Feast – An Easy Go To Meal

If you’re looking for an easy, filling meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights and also makes excellent leftovers for lunch, you’re in the right place! Our Greek-themed dinner featuring homemade chicken shawarma is a hit in our household. It’s also a fantastic choice for hosting friends, as everyone can build their own plate with the toppings they love. Whether you’re a fan of tzatziki, hummus, or feta cheese, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

The star of our Greek dinner is the homemade chicken shawarma. Inspired by a recipe I found on Instagram, I’ve made a few tweaks to simplify it while keeping all the delicious flavors intact. You can find my version of this recipe here. The marinade is a wonderful blend of spices that give the chicken a mouthwatering aroma and taste. Once you’ve tried it, you’ll see why it’s a favorite in our home.

One of the fresh and tangy sides that complements the chicken shawarma perfectly is our homemade tomato cucumber salad. It’s a simple yet flavorful mix of ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and a hint of herbs. This salad adds a refreshing crunch to the meal and is incredibly easy to prepare. I’ll be sharing the full recipe below so you can recreate it at home.

This Greek-themed dinner is more than just a meal; it’s an experience. With everyone able to customize their plates, it’s perfect for family dinners and gatherings with friends. Plus, the leftovers are just as tasty, making it a practical choice for meal prep. I usually make it for dinner one night and happily enjoy it in some form for lunch the next two days. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.
