Greek Chicken


Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE my food and Im not willing to sacrifice tasty food to eat healthy. Greek is a favorite in our house so Im always on the look out for tasty recipes I can make that aren't too complicated.  If you like garlic and lemon you wont be disappointed with this recipe!



  • One whole chicken cut up
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  •  
  • 2 medium lemons
  1. Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Place chicken in a large roasting pan. Arrange potato, onion, capsicum and garlic around chicken. Pour over stock. Finely grate 1 lemon. Reserve grated lemon rind. Juice grated lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges. Add lemon juice and wedges to pan. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Roast for 15 minutes or until chicken starts to brown. Reduce temperature to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Roast for 25 minutes.

  3. Add tomatoes and olives. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and tomatoes are just starting to collapse.
  4.                      Combine parsley, basil and reserved grated lemon rind in a dish. Sprinkle over chicken mixture. Serve.
