Greek Chicken

Here I present a recipe for traditional Greek Chicken that’s grilled after marinating in lemon juice and tons of fresh garlic, herbs and spices 🙂

In high school one of the electives I chose was cooking or Food Nutrition or whatever it was called… it was many, many, many moons ago 🤣

In this course we had to work in groups and highlight a country’s cuisine of our choice. We chose Greece and we made spanakopita. What does this have to do with Greek Chicken?

It’s Greek

Now when I think of Greek food, I’m sorry to say, I think of food court food.

I said I’m sorry!

That rice and salad and potatoes and souvlaki and tzatziki… yum!

I haven’t had food court Greek food in a very long time but it will forever hold a special place in my heart ♥️

This is how you make it
