It’s dinner time, and if you’re in a dinner rotation rut, Vivian’s Victuals has your back. Love the flavor-loaded dishes of the Mediterranean? This Sort of Greek Chicken recipe might just be the recipe you’ve been looking for.
Vivian’s (Sort Of) Greek Chicken
Eight pieces chicken or one whole one cut up
Jar of artichoke hearts, drained
About six fresh mushrooms, sliced
Jar of black or green olives, drained
¼ cup diced onion
4 (more or less) cloves garlic, diced
Greek seasoning, or thyme and oregano
2 TBSP lemon juice
Salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Spray a baking pan with oil and put the chicken pieces in the pan, with space between the pieces.
Mix the mushrooms, artichoke hearts, onions, olives, garlic, lemon juice and seasonings in a bowl and spread evenly over the chicken pieces. Cover with foil and bake about 30 minutes. Take the foil off, baste the pieces, and cook another 30 minutes.
Great served with couscous, pasta, rice or roasted potatoes.
Greetings from Matthews Cooks! We’re a ragtag group of home cooks submitting original recipes from our own kitchens and sharing the adventure with Matthews Beacon readers. If you’d like to add your own, please send them to renee@matthewsbeacon.com , and she’ll forward them to me (Vivian). When you send in recipes, add your family story, if there is one. It can add new dimensions to a dish. Please do not use recipes from cookbooks, as we need to respect copyright laws. If you first got a recipe from a book, then changed it over the years to suit your kitchen, that would be fine.
