I have to depend on St Anthony's Hellenic Orthodox Church's annual "Opa
Festival" for my Greek food fix They regularly have souvlaki and gyros,
as well as Lahanodolmade (cabbage rolls) which are, I understand mostly
a colder months dish. And Greek desserts like baklava, melopita (honey
pie), loukomadies (Ddnuts) and melomakarona (honey cookies). I can wreck
any pretense of a diet and hurt myself on that weekend. Bv)=

Title: Kotopoulo Lemonato (Greek Lemon Chicken & Potatoes)
Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Citrus, Cheese, Potatoes
Yield: 4 servings
1.1 kg (40 0z) chicken; in 8 pcs
1 cl Garlic
Juice of 3 medium lemons
1 ts White wine vinegar
5 tb Extra virgin olive oil
1 ts Peppercorns
1 ts Pry oregano
Freshly ground salt & pepper
100 g (4 oz) Feta cheese; in small
- cubes
1 kg (35 oz) potatoes; in wedges
To prepare this Greek lemon chicken recipe, divide the
chicken into 8 portions and wash thoroughly. Peel the
garlic and rub on the chicken. Place on a large baking
tray and season well with salt and pepper.
Cut the potatoes into wedges and place them between the
chicken. Pour in some water, enough to cover half the
chicken and add the lemon juice, the white wine vinegar,
the olive oil, the chopped garlic and the peppercorns.
Season with salt and pepper and add a good pinch of
oregano. (Tip: sprinkle the potatoes with 1 tsp semolina
for crispier results)
Cover with aluminum foil and bake @ 180ºC/350ºF for
60-75 minutes in total. 50 minutes into the bake remove
the aluminum foil and top the chicken with some feta
cheese. Bake for another 15-20 minutes (the remaining
time), until your Greek lemon chicken is nicely coloured
and crispy on the outside.
This Greek lemon chicken is ideally served with a
refreshing Greek feta salad and lots of sourdough bread
aside to dig into all the delicious sauce!!
Yield: 4 portions
