- Greek Homestyle Chicken
-
- My wife taught me how to make this. She learned it in Greece, where it's
- a common meal. It's incredibly delicious, and while it's cooking, the smell
- will have everyone in the house salivating. She cooks it in an open pan, but
- I find the chicken stays moister if you cover it (with aluminum foil or some-
- thing) for the first half-hour or so. Either way, it tastes great!
-
- Ingredients:
- Four pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- juice of two lemons
- four or five potatoes, peeled and sliced french-fry style
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 to 1 cup of water
- one head of garlic, the cloves peeled but whole
- oregano, salt, and pepper to taste
-
- Procedure:
-
- Place chicken in a shallow baking tray.
-
- Arrange potatoes around chicken pieces. Scatter whole peeled cloves of
- garlic around chicken and potatoes.
-
- Mix together lemon juice and olive oil, and pour evenly over chicken
- and potatoes. Add water until potatoes are just about covered.
-
- Add salt, pepper to taste. Cover chicken and pototoes with generous
- amounts of oregano.
-
- Bake at 350 degrees, until tops of chicken are reddish brown.
-
- Turn chicken, stir potatoes, and sprinkle on more oregano. If potatoes
- aren't at least half-covered with liquid, add water.
-
- Return to oven for about 15-20 minutes. Chicken is done when both
- sides a lightly browned and potatoes are soft when touched with
- a fork.
-
- Serve with a crusty bread, or with pita bread.
