Greek Style Chicken

Tuesday is here!

That means it is time for a fabulous recipe 

for your dinner tonight.

Today I am sharing a recipe 

that is super easy and delicious!

I got this recipe from our Foods 3 class at school.

They have a unit all on international food 

and THIS is one of my favorites.

When I taught the class last year by far this one 

was my FAV!!

I served ours over orzo pasta

to complete the Greek theme.

Greek Style Chicken 

1  (17 oz) container plain Greek Yogurt

I package of crumbled feta cheese         

1 t lemon zest      

¼c fresh lemon juice 

4t dried oregano    

1 t salt     

½ t ground black pepper

 ½ t crushed dried rosemary

          4 boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces

     1/2 large red onion ( or 1 small) , cut into 1 ½ inch wedges

   1 1/2 large green bell pepper, cut into 1 ½ inch pieces

1 1/2 cups orzo pasta

What you will do:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl combine yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, salt, pepper, and rosemary.  
3. Spread yogurt mixture on the bottom of a9 x13 baking dish, lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle feta crumbles on top.
4. Place the chicken in the dish, turn to coat.  Add the chopped veggies and turn to coat.  
5.  Bake for 20 minutes.  Check the chicken to be sure it is cooked(no longer pink) and cook an additional 5-10 minutes if necessary.
6. While chicken is cooking, boil a pot of water for your orzo pasta. Add in 1 1/2 cups when water is boiling. 
7. Drain pasta and serve chicken mixture over a bowl of orzo!

ENJOY!
