Greek Homestyle Chicken
Four pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Juice of two lemons
Four or five potatoes, peeled and sliced french-fry style
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 to 1 cup of water
one head of garlic, the cloves peeled
Add whole oregano, salt, and pepper to taste
Place chicken in a shallow baking tray. Arrange potatoes around chicken pieces.
Scatter whole peeled cloves of garlic around chicken and potatoes. Mix together
lemon juice and olive oil, and pour evenly over chicken and potatoes. Add water
until potatoes are just about covered. Add salt, pepper to taste. Cover chicken
and pototoes with generous amounts of oregano. Bake at 350 degrees, until tops
of chicken are reddish brown. Turn chicken, stir potatoes, and sprinkle on more
oregano. If potatoes aren't at least half-covered with liquid, add water. Return

browned and potatoes are soft when touched with a fork. Serve with a crusty
bread, or with pita bread. |
