    Skillet Greek Chicken

    This one-skillet Greek chicken recipe is a dream come true when you're strapped for time, the desire to cook, or the will to clean

    skillet with feta covered chicken

    At the end of December & the beginning of January, I was basically a zombie. I was sick and exhausted for almost an entire (unpleasant/unproductive) month.

    I decided to create a recipe that required little effort, did not involve much cleanup, and was nourishing & delicious.

    Ok so maybe I strive to make almost all of my recipes like this; I mean I'm not known for my cleaning skills, and I love delicious food. But who doesn't?!

    Well, this recipe for Skillet Greek Chicken hit the nail perfectly on the head. One skillet. 12 ingredients. Lots of veggies & lean protein. Full of flavor.

    Yes, please, and thank you!

    Start by pan-frying the chicken in a little olive oil to get the outside crispy. Then transfer your chicken to a plate, and add in your onions. Sauté these while your oven preheats. I like to cook them for at least 15 minutes to bring out their natural sweetness; however, 10 minutes is sufficient.

    Throw in your garlic and spices for tons of flavor and add in the tomatoes. Let this simmer for a few minutes, so it thickens a little bit. Now top with your chicken and cover with cheese (both feta & goat cheese are good here), and bake to perfection.

    I like to serve this with a good slice of french bread or cooked quinoa to soak up all the tomatoey goodness. It’s up to you. You could even serve with a side salad for even more veggies!

    Once you've cleaned your skillet & your cutting board, you can kick back, relax, and enjoy the evening since you’re not slaving over your stove.
