Hey y’all. It’s Jamie Deen back in The Chicken Box.
0:02
And today we're going to do a Greek inspired recipe.
0:06
My family and I come out to eat downtown in Savannah.
0:10
The Olympia Cafe is one of our favorite places to go.
0:13
Nick and Vasilis are two brothers that operate Olympia, a cafe down on River
0:17
Street, and one of them is always there and their food is always delicious.
0:23
The flavors, their salads are phenomenal.
0:26
And I'll make a salad that I hope is as good as theirs today.
0:29
This is a Greek chicken and rice salad, and it's very, very simple.
0:33
We're going to start off by making our own dressing.
0:36
So I'm going to have some olive oil that's going in first.
0:40
All of these ingredients, we're going to dump and stir.
0:47
I have some lemon zest over.
0:51
Let me grab my knife real quick.
0:53
I'm barely going to touch this oregano.
0:58
Just a couple of rough shots.
1:00
I love the texture and the size of it.
1:03
And we'll go with our fresh oregano.
1:12
I've got a teaspoon of honey.
1:14
So we're using mom’s honey, our orange blossom, I believe.
1:20
Let me get our Dijon mustard
1:32
Let me give me a little spoon.
1:38
All right, let's lift this up.
1:43
It's a really simple dressing,
1:45
and you can rather than honey, I also do some dressings
1:49
that have a light sirup
1:52
and maple sirup based dressing is very good, too.
1:56
The flavors that you're going to get here is going to be our mustard and our lemon
2:09
So that's it. And we've got our dressing down here.
2:12
Make sure you get a good size bowl to start work.
2:15
You always want to have too much bowl because we're going to add to this.
2:19
We're going in with two bags of our brown rice.
2:25
We have some big chicken from the restaurant downtown.
2:28
So it's two cups of rotisserie chicken.
2:37
English cucumber, kalamata olives
2:47
I'm going to fold this.
2:50
Don't want to overwork it, but I want to see that
2:55
all of this gets kissed by this dressing that we've done.
3:02
I would put this in a wrap in about one second.
3:05
This looks like a delicious wrap.
3:14
and look at all the vibrant colors and flavors that we have in here.
3:19
Ooh, great time of day.
3:26
All there is to do now
3:30
I'm making this for Catarina next door.
3:32
Who said that looks delicious.
3:34
And I would like to eat all of it.
3:36
So she gets the first plate today.
3:57
little bit of fresh parsley.
4:15
I'm going to taste with a teaspoon today,
4:27
The brightness of the lemon
4:29
does it for me with the rice.
4:32
The feta cheese is this is really a super delicious lunch.
4:36
It's affordable, and it's the perfect time of year for it.
4:39
Just like The Chicken Box.
4:41
Y’all enjoy your Greek chicken and rice salad.
4:44
I know that Catarina and I are.
4:47
I'll see you around the kitchen.
4:52
