Easy Greek Chicken Kabobs & Greek Salad

Like any busy mom, I love meals that are simple, fast and fresh. And on any week day, there is always that last minute rush, no matter how well you plan, to get dinner on the table. I am sure that you can relate! That last hour before dinner seems to go by in a blink of eye and hungry kids are suddenly hanging out in the kitchen waiting for dinner. Since my husband and son are not fond of cooked vegetables, I often make salads for our side dishes. The added bonus? No pots or pans to wash because a salad is just chopped veggies thrown into a bowl. And this meal of easy Greek chicken kabobs and Greek salad are one of my family’s favourite meals. This meal is gobbled up in no time!

I love meals using fresh chicken. The frozen boxes of chicken breasts don’t always taste the best…but fresh chicken delivers amazing taste every time. Did you know that Walmart offers Canadian families 100% FRESH Canadian meal offerings? You will find a wide assortment of Angus beef, Farm raised and Air Chilled poultry and Farm raised pork, along with hand trimmed 100% Canadian salmon. So when I am shopping for groceries for my family, I can feel good about choosing Walmart for it’s 100% FRESH Canadian protein choices. This way I know that I am supporting Canadian farmers, as well as getting excellent quality cuts of meat and protein…all at an affordable price. This whole meal, including fresh chicken and vegetables, was under $20 to make, which makes an affordable and delicious cooked-at-home meal!
