What's Cookin': Make Greek-style potatoes to go with your chicken Today's recipe is Greek style chicken. And who doesn't want Greek style potatoes to go with it? Of course you do! It's totally easy, so I'm going to tell you how to do it, rather than write you a recipe. In a large measuring cup, mix together 1/3 cup olive oil, 1 1/2 cups chicken stock, 2 cloves fresh garlic minced, 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (DO NOT use the bottle stuff-- it is not the same), 1tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried oregano and some black pepper. Mix. Then in a baking pan, arrange 6 peeled potatoes, that have been cut into quarters. Pour the liquid overtop of the potatoes. Cover with foil and bake in a 350 F degree oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until tender (you should turn them a couple of times during the baking). And there you go, Greek potatoes-- delicious. When you serve the potatoes and the chicken, you could serve a little feta cheese sprinkled over top if you like. You can also add a bit more lemon to the roasting potatoes if you find they aren't quite lemony enough for you! And, be sure to make extras, because you are going to want to take this for lunch the next day. For a great lunch, stuff The Regional 15 The IFP · Halton Hills, Thursday, January 26, 2012 Municipality of Halton www.halton.ca Bulk Waste Collection 3 Items Maximum Lori Gysel & Gerry Kentner a handful of fresh spinach in your microwaveable dish, then put a bit of the leftover potatoes and chicken on top. Sprinkle with crumbled feta and a bit of salt. Cover. At lunchtime, just microwave the whole thing until warm. The spinach really makes it. Now, what really makes all of these recipes great is the quality of ingredients that you are using. Are you using good olive oil or is it the cheapest dredge from the bottom of the vat after all the good stuff has been taken off? Are you using good chicken stock or some nasty powdered concoction full of MSG? Are you using fresh lemon juice or cheating with the bottled variety? Have your spices been in your rack, unused and unloved for three years and now you're trying them out in this recipe? All of these things make a huge difference in the final taste. Don't kid yourself that they don't! Have fun and keep cooking!
