Marinated Greek Chicken Tostadas.
I did something good.
Remember the whipped feta?
I spread that all over a warm and crispy tortilla. So it got a little melty.
Then covered it with marinated chicken and a hodge podge of tomatoes, artichokes and dill among other wonderful things. Olive oil, lemon squeezes, lots of seasoning. Yes.
It was a perfect change of pace and fit the requirement that most of my summer meals must: to taste super fresh. To taste super fresh without being a giant bowl of green salad, that is.
That’s my goal.
I’ve essentially centered my life around this whipped feta. I love that stuff so freaking much. It takes any boring meal over the top within seconds.
It’s so simple but packs a ton of flavor.
It’s so delicious that I can think of nothing but short, cliché sentences to describe it.
Last year I made tostadas and I think the verdict is in: I prefer corn tortillas. They get a little crispier, most likely because they are thinner – but in a pinch flour tortillas will do. They get crisp but a little puffy at the same time. It doesn’t matter much at all as long as they have some crunch. After all, everything you want is piled on top.
You can take this combo and throw it on pizza. Stuff it in a pita. Maybe put it in a quesadilla? Stick it in a sandwich.
Put it on a salad if you’re into that freaky stuff.
As long as it makes it into your mouth, the goal is reached.
Marinated Greek Chicken Tostadas
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- the juice of 1 lemon
- 1 batch of whipped feta
- 4 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 sweet onion, diced
- 1/2 cup chopped, marinated artichokes
- 1/3 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 1 teaspoon freshly chopped dill,
- crumbled feta for serving
- lemon wedges
Instructions
- A few hours (or even the night) before, add chicken to a baking dish or ziplock bag. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and dill. Pour over chicken, stick in the fridge and let marinate.
- Cook chicken however you’d like – I simply add mine (discarding the marinade) to a skillet oven medium heat and cook until golden, about 10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, onions, artichokes, olives and dill. Add a drop of olive oil or lemon juice and toss to coat. Season if desired.
- When getting ready to serve, heat another skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil about 1/4 teaspoon at a time, add one tortilla and cook for about 30-60 seconds per side, until just golden and bubbly. Remove and let drain on a paper towel. Set aside until ready to use.
- To assemble tostadas, spread a bit of whipped feta on each crisp tortilla. Add chicken on top then cover with the tomato and artichoke mixture. Top with some extra feta. Hummus makes a nice addition too.

I appreciate you so much!
What if you took it all and dumped it in a bowl of hummus and scooped it up with pita chips? Hmmm.

So my kind of meal. Frist of all the whipped is freaking amazing. I should know, I have made it like 20 times in the last month. SO GOOD! Plus, I love the dill and the marinated chicken!
Ohhh, this looks wonderful! Light, refreshing and simply a great combination of flavors. Bookmarking this recipe!!
This post was a lovely surprise. It was published while I was reading your post(again) about grilled cheese, so when I clicked back there it was,. Your posts always make me so happy. I’m vegan, so usually I can’t cook your recipes, but I just love your style so much that I read your blog everyday anyway. Oh, and these tostadas look scrumptious!
you have no idea how much that means to me + that you still read. thank you so much!
I haven’t tried the whipped feta, it sounds like it needs to be a staple in my life. This will definitely be transformed into a pizza!! Love it
Sounds great Jess! And I love the versatility (including the hummus idea!!) I’m exceptionally fond of greens so the whole dumping it over a big bowl of them sounds very appealing to me right now!
So good. I haven’t tried the whipped feta yet, but I need to and this might be just the thing to try it on.
Whipped feta? When did I miss this? That is some freaky good deliciousness I need to make happen in my life ASAP.
So good! Can I have one now!?! ;-)
This looks so freaking good! Can’t wait to try! I LOVE Greek anything! Look at all those exclamation points…
All those chunky veggies look so good. And whipped feta has GOT to make everything just so much better!

This whole post is speaking my language: feta. Mmmm feta. I need to make this ASAP!

I’m quite certain that with enough whipped feta, we could save the world.
Outrageous! I think you just transported me to some little Greek island with these gorgeous, scrumptious tostadas! I want!
Why is my face not in that?
That’s it, I’m getting feta at the store today and probably eating my weight in whipped feta over the next few days!
I need this right now!!
I want a cambelback filled with whipped feta.
These pictures are torturing me… Need to make this! Wow.
You did do something good….great, actually! I love everything about this.
Mediterranean flavors are always a win in my house. Looks great!
Your brain should be studied for all the amazingness that it holds.
I am all over that pizza idea. And whipped feta?!?! How did I miss that?

This looks absolutely delicious. What a great idea! I like that it is fresh & summery but still not a salad ;)

Jessica, these look divine! Once I get back from my travels I will be adding this to my NEED TO MAKE NOW list. Looks so tasty! Thanks for sharing! ;)
I missed the post on whipped feta and that’s a great idea…not only makes it easier to use but truth is I think I would prefer the flavor that comes from mixing in some cream cheese; feta can be a bit salty for my taste. Love this dish; it’s how I love to eat in summer too!
Yes…. just YES!
Thank you Jessica! You just made my day! It’s not even noon yet and it’s hot outside and my air conditioner is out :(. These tostadas will be perfect for dinner–I can hardly wait!
I just licked my screen…ok, not really. But, I just might!

This is definitely going in a pita and happening for dinner. Husband will love it as long as I don’t tell him the ingredients first!
Also, side note: if you cook flour tortillas like that in some butter (or ghee, clarified butter, even better), then it makes a quick substitute for bread to eat with Indian food. And a quick substitute for all forms of real food if that’s how you want to spend your day.
Mmmmmm, melty feta! Sign. Me. Up! This dinner looks awesome, a perfect summer supper!
I just made the whipped feta last weekend and have some left over. I was going to stuff it in some chicken breasts, but now I’m going to make these. They look so yummy and summery! Thanks for the dinner inspiration!
This is beautiful! My husband and I love Greek dishes and this one looks marvelous :)
This is over the top fabulous! Need it now :)
Just made the chicken and served it with tzatziki sauce on whole wheat tortillas with grilled onions and garlic. It was delish! Thanks for sharing the marinade recipe.
