Food Recipes Grilled Chicken and Pepper Salad Be the first to rate & review! There’s grilled chicken, and then there’s marinated grilled chicken, and the two are worlds apart in deliciousness. The latter is involved in this easy dinner recipe, which starts with a garlicky-herb-filled yogurt for the chicken, followed by a quick grill alongside charred mini peppers and red onion. You’ll assemble all this with greens and toasted, torn pita pieces, which add excitement to each bite. Note that the yogurt mixture does double duty—as marinade and as a dressing, so make sure to divide it into two batches before adding the chicken.
