Green Goddess Chicken Salad

This green goddess salad recipe has grilled chicken marinated in the creamy dressing, then served in a bowl of salad with green goddess dressing drizzled over it.

If you want a change from a grilled chicken salad covered in mayonnaise, then try this green goddess salad.   The flavour combination of herbs, anchovies, sour cream and mayonnaise adds so much flavour and is also a colourful dish.   We are great fans of green goddess dressing and would drink it from the serving jug if the other one isn’t looking!  Not only is it a great salad dressing, it makes a perfect marinade for chicken.

For a quicker salad you could skip grilling the chicken breast and use rotisserie chicken.  Although that will be great for a salad in a hurry, you don’t quite get the flavour of the marinated chicken.  Slather on extra green goddess dressing to compensate. 

Green Goddess Salad Tips

Pack out your green goddess salad with all the veggies you want!  The Chief Taster is a bit fussy, so I kept the salad down to a minimum.  If I start to even slice a cucumber, I will hear yells of dismay from the other side of the house.  Any cucumber recipes you read on my site have all been made and devoured whilst he is at work.   You could add cucumber, celery, chopped walnuts to this.  Perhaps scatter some cheese, such as Feta, over it to make it a hearty dish.  Or simply serve as this delicious grilled chicken salad recipe.

For the salad leaf I used our local lettuce as it's crisp but not on the ice berg lettuce edge of crisp. Try a romaine lettuce or perhaps arugula. Or a pre-packed green salad.
