{Gluten and Dairy Free} Easy Paleo Greek Chicken

Physical Kitchness came up with this super yummy greek meal.  If you are could use crumbled goat's cheese (make sure there is no casein, or cow's milk protein!) or you could use Daiya Mozzarella. You could also skip the cheese altogether (insert crying sound here, LOL).  I probably would skip the cheese. There are a lot of flavors here without it. I would slightly increase the salt, as cheese has salt, and adding some salt can help compensate for the flavor. Yum!
