Greek Dinner

I am always looking for quick, easy and healthy dinner recipes to make during the week.  One dinner that I make at least once a week, and is a big hit, is Greek Chicken with Lemon Roasted Potatoes served with rice and steamed broccoli on the side.  It's a great dinner because it can all be made up in advance and popped in the oven when the time is right.  I have a rice cooker with vegetable steaming baskets that fit on top so the rice and broccoli can cook simultaneously too!

Here's the recipes below, enjoy!

Greek Chicken

1/2 cup miracle whip
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 TBSP chicken broth
1 TBSP dried oregano leaves
1.5 tsp black pepper
2 cloves minced garlic
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut up into smaller pieces




Mix all ingredients together except chicken.  Place chicken in a small, shallow baking dish.  Coat chicken well with mixture.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour until chicken is cooked.

Lemon Roast Potatoes

4 to 6 potatoes
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup olive oil
1.5 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tsp dried oregano

 
Whisk all ingredients except potatoes together in a measuring cup.  Peel and wedge potatoes and place in a rectangular baking dish.  Pour mixture over potatoes.  Bake on middle rack of 350 degree oven, uncovered for 1.5 to 2 hours or until all mixture is absorbed by potatoes.  Baste potatoes every 30 minutes with sauce to coat evenly.
