Greek Marinated Chicken

Hey Guys,

I'm sorry about the delay in any new posts! I was busy spending time with my husband on his last week home before he left for boot camp. It has been an interesting adjustment but hey that's what happens when you are a sailors wife!

I plan on giving you guys a new recipe every week! This week I am featuring Greek Marinated Chicken and I hope that you all enjoy it.

Greek Marinated Chicken

Like always I love lining up all my ingredients to get prepared!

The first part of making this delicious chicken is to marinate it so we are going to start out by making the marinate.

The ingredients required for this marinade are:

Plain yogurt

Garlic

Lemon juice and lemon zest

Parsley

Oregano

Pepper

Salt

Don't forget the chicken. I chose drumsticks but you can choose to use any kind you prefer.

Of course you don't just throw the whole lemon in or the whole bunch of parsley so we need to prepare these things.

Now we can take all of the ingredients and throw it all in the bowl. Don't you love just being able to put everything in one bowl, I sure do! 

I'm sure you've noticed I waited to put the parsley in. After mixing these ingredients I then mixed the parsley in.

It's now time to marinate the chicken. Normally you want to take a big ziploc bag and marinate it in that but silly me I bought the wrong size of bag so I chose to use a glass container.

Then go ahead and plastic wrap it so that it has a tight seal on it. ( If you used a ziploc bag don't worry about this step.) Now set it in the fridge and marinate it for at least 30 minutes.

Tick tock.. tick tock..... oh yay the chicken is done marinating! Go ahead and set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and pull your chicken out of the fridge. I transferred the chicken to another dish because the chicken needs a little more space to cook.

Cook the chicken for about 45-60 minutes in the oven. Make sure it is cooked thoroughly and a golden brown color on the chicken.

All done! I chose to pair my chicken with some broccoli slaw! You can choose to pair whatever you want with it. An idea I have for next time is a yummy couscous salad. Maybe I will try that next time!

I hope you enjoyed and decide to make this for yourself!
