This Greek chicken recipe is one of the simplest recipes for a full meal that I have created so far…Now that I’m thinking about it, it’s the easiest full meal post on my website. The ladies in my free and private community love simple recipes because let’s face it, most of us are just too busy!
This Greek chicken and greens dish fills the void in the dinner or lunch department.
Primal Kitchen products
I discovered Primal Kitchen products last year at a Nutritional Conference I attended and absolutely fell in love with Mark Sisson’s food products. The diligence in the selection and quality of ingredients blew me away as I never thought someone could produce commercial food without any additives, preservatives or chemicals by only using real food ingredients. Primal Kitchen did it with amazing flavors.
If you are looking for time-saving products for your real food lifestyle, Primal Kitchen food products are for you. The Greek vinaigrette and honey mustard dressing are exactly what I expected: delicious and healthy.
Check the Greek salad dressing ingredients list: Avocado Oil, Organic Red Wine Vinegar, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Sea Salt, Organic Black Pepper, Organic Oregano, Organic Coriander, Organic Marjoram, Organic Lemon Juice Concentrate, and Organic Oil of Oregano.

Sautéed leafy green vegetables
This recipe is so ever flexible…you can use the leafy green vegetable of your choice and the spice of choice. This is a basic way of cooking my veggies in my healthy life… sautéed in healthy fat. While the chicken is baking you can chop your favorite leafy green vegetables ( collard green, swiss chard, kale or spinach) and get the pan ready. Cook and that’s it! Done.
For this recipe, I used another great product I discovered at the same Nutritional Conference earlier this year: Spice Cave. Spice Cave is paleo, primal, low carb and keto friendly. They use only real food ingredients and Himalayan sea salt. Really powerful spice…their Fire blend really hot!
