Greek Kalamanta Lemon Chicken

If you love Mediterranean style chicken and lemon this dish is for you!! It's so easy, all you have to do is brown the chicken, throw it all in a casserole dish and bake it! It's that quick and easy!

You will need:

boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 per person being served)*
1 tablespoon olive oil
2/3 cup dried orzo pasta
1/2 cup drained pitted kalamata olive
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
1/2 lemon(cut into wedges or chunks)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon all purpose Greek seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon oregano

* if making more than 5 or 6 I would double the recipe*


First begin by putting the olive oil in a skillet and cooking the chicken breasts until they are slightly browned on each side. While the chicken is browning, pour your orzo into your casserole dish followed by the chicken broth. Lay the browned chicken breasts on top of the pasta and sprinkle salt, pepper, Greek seasoning, and lemon juice over the entire dish.

Next add your cut lemon wedges and olives to the dish. Cover and bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. Serve with warm pita bread.





Bon Appetit!
