Roasted Greek Chicken
- INGREDIENTS
- for coating the chicken:
- 1 1/2 lb chicken thighs (I used boneless, skinless thighs but any part may work)
- 2 Tbsp flour
- salt & pepper (I used about 2 tsp of salt)
- 1 Tbsp butter
- for the mixture:
- 6 oz cremini mushrooms, about 2 cups halved
- 2 shallots, medium size, minced
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 1 Tbsp fresh thyme, more for garnishing
- red onions, a few slivers for garnishing
- 1/2 lemon, juice
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Rinse the chicken pieces well and pat dry. Generously add salt and pepper evenly on each piece. Coat with flour. In an oven-proof skillet or pan, melt the butter in high heat. Working in batches, brown the chicken thighs for about 2 minutes on one side (skin side), flip it and slightly brown the other side quickly. Set aside.

Pour the chicken broth in and let it come to a boil. Turn the heat off.Assemble the chicken pieces on the skillet. Add olives, feta cheese and a little more thyme leaves.Roast in the oven for 20 - 30 minutes.Note: In my case, it only needed 20 minutes since I used boneless chicken thighs. When using chicken breasts, cut down on the cooking time as well. Internal temperature should be 165 degrees F.
- When ready to serve, drizzle some extra virgin olive oil, red onions and squeeze a half of lemon. Enjoy hot with rice or any grain of your preference.
