Greek Lemon Chicken Salad

This meal is great for a quick lunch or a simple weeknight dinner. It is delicious, fresh, and healthy. If you didn't want to make the whole meal you could just use the recipe for the Greek dressing for a salad that you made. I guarantee that you and your family will love this dish.
