Greek Chicken
This is a big favorite in my house. I love that I
can throw it in the oven and move on to all the
other things I need to do. Throw in a salad and
you have a whole meal that everyone loves with
very little work. For this recipe you can use any
chicken you have on hand. It can be chicken
halves, cut up pieces, breasts with skin and
bones, or boneless skinless breasts. I am going
to give you both recipes that I make. There are
times when the family really wants Greek
chicken and I do not have all the things I need
so I will cheat and do a close substitute.
They still love it and want seconds.

Greek Chicken

Toss chicken pieces in Italian salad dressing until well
coated. Place in the center of a baking dish that has
sides. Toss cut up pieces of potatoes in Italian salad
dressing until well coated. Then place them around the
chicken in the pan. Add water to the bottom of the pan.

Total baking time is 1 hour and 40 minutes.

Bake at 375 for 50 minutes covered. Flip the chicken
and baste. Cover and bake another 35 minutes. Then
baste again and bake another 15 minutes uncovered.








(Real) Greek Chicken

You will need

3 - 4 pounds chicken pieces
3 pounds of potatoes
juice from 2-3 medium lemons
2 teaspoons of salt
1 heaping tablespoon of oregano
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
8 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup of olive oil
1 1/2 cups of water


Place all ingredients except for the water into a large
roasting pan and toss to coat evenly. Spread everything
nicely around the pan and then pour water carefully in
an open area so you do not rinse the mixture off the
chicken and potatoes.

Total baking time is 1 hour and 40 minutes.

Bake covered at 375 for 50 minutes. Then flip the
chicken and make sure the pan is not getting dry. If it is
getting dry add some more water. Bake 35 minutes
more covered and then the last 15 minutes uncovered.
