How to make this Greek Chicken
Greek Chicken – an easy weeknight meal
A great thing about this Greek Chicken recipe is you can get it all done on one sheet! With just a handful of ingredients, many of which you may already have in your kitchen, you can have a hearty, healthy weeknight meal.
What’s the best cut of chicken?
I’ve made this recipe with chicken breast, because it adds juiciness and flavor. But you could use bone in, skin on chicken thighs and drumsticks instead. Just increase the cooking time, to make sure the internal temperature reaches 155 F.
A delicious yogurt marinade
Yogurt is a brilliant marinade. So many cuisines embrace it, such as Greek, Persian and Indian. What’s so good about it? Well, it tenderises quickly and more evenly than liquids with harsher acidity like lemon juice and vinegar, and is also a fabulous flavour carrier, injecting herbs and spices into the flesh. There’s enough flavor in the marinade such that you don’t need to marinate for a full 24 hours to get the benefit of the tenderizing and flavor injection. Overnight is definitely recommended but if you really need to rush it, even an hour is enough.
Top Tips
Make sure to separate your raw ingredients from the others. So keep the chicken at one end and the cauliflower at the other. You don’t want juices from the chicken contaminating the veggies. Allow chicken to marinate for at least an hour. The longer it marinates, the better! Allow to cool for a few mins before serving. Garnish with parsley and left over honey yogurt marinade.
