A classic Greek dish! Greek Lemon Chicken, also known as “Kotopoulo Skaras” in Greek, is a flavorful and aromatic recipe that combines the brightness of lemon with the richness of olive oil and herbs. Here’s a simple recipe to make Greek Lemon Chicken:
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chicken broth (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and mix well to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight (6-8 hours).
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off.
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
If using chicken broth, baste the chicken with it every 10 minutes during baking.
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve with
Roasted potatoes
Steamed vegetables (e.g., asparagus, green beans)
Greek salad
Warm pita bread with tzatziki sauce
Tips
Use high-quality ingredients, like fresh lemons and extra-virgin olive oil.
Adjust the amount of garlic and herbs to your taste.
For a crisper exterior, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
Enjoy your delicious Greek Lemon Chicken!
