At one of our recent “Dinner Club” gatherings the hostess made a yummy Greek entree, inspired by one of her favorite restaurant meals, that I’m excited to share with you today! I’d honestly never had Chicken Lemonato before (at least, not that I recall) and was excited to be introduced to another easy and yummy one-dish meal.
I have to tell you though, after working out all the measurements on how I wanted to test it at home, it just so happens both of my daughters had friends over the first night I planned to make it. I was a little worried I didn’t have something more “kid-friendly” on the menu or, more importantly, something I’d tested before instead! But as it turned out, all the kids LOVED it on the first try, and most even went back for seconds – phew! Hard not to love a kitchen “win” like that. Hope you enjoy this dish as much as we do!

The picture kind of looks like small pieces of chicken. Did you cut up the thighs, or just put them in whole?
They are cooked whole. – Nicole
This had no flavor.
On my list to make this week! I am going to try this with chickpeas in place of chicken. I have never made something from any of the 3 cookbooks that my and my family haven’t loved! Thank you Lisa!
Side note for anyone who may need the info. Lisa’s recipes are so easy to adapt to meet dietary restrictions…we have a few in this house (vegetarian, with dairy and gluten sensitivity) and I have been using Lisa’s recipes for over 5 years.
I made this recipe for the first time last week because we got a large bunch of broccoli in our CSA box. My daughter had purchased some little potatoes from Costco that she shared with me. This recipe seemed like a perfect fit. It is easy and delicious. We didn’t even bother to do the extra browning step. It also makes great leftovers.
Perfect! So glad to hear you loved it. – Nicole
