GREEK CHICKEN SALAD
My family loves this dish. Use light mayonnaise and this is a healthy salad. Even if you or your family are not garlic lovers, I'd advise that you use the full measurement of garlic and the tablespoon of oregano for the proper flavoring. I receive nothing but raves when I serve this salad.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the chicken thighs, tomatoes, olives, onion, capers in brine, vinegar, oil, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large bowl. Toss until everything is evenly mixed and the chicken is well coated.
- Transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Nestle the chicken pieces into the vegetables, arranging them in a single layer, skin-side up, so the skin is well exposed (this will allow it to get crisp).
- Bake uncovered for 50 minutes, then increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Bake until the skin is crispy and golden, the chicken is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part, not touching bone) and the pan liquid has reduced by about half, 10 minutes more.
- Scatter the feta on top and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Serve with the pan juices.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. These cuts are lean and tender, and they will cook evenly in the oven.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will give your chicken salad a bright, vibrant flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. To prevent this, cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken cool completely before shredding it: This will help to prevent the chicken from becoming dry and stringy.
- Use a variety of vegetables: A variety of vegetables will add color, texture, and flavor to your chicken salad. Some good choices include celery, red onion, cucumber, and bell peppers.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is one of the key ingredients in chicken salad, so it's important to use a good quality mayonnaise. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh, simple ingredients.
- Season to taste: Once you've assembled your chicken salad, be sure to season it to taste. This may include adding salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder.
