    Original post from Jan 6th 2016:
    Are you ready for the a bold statement? Perhaps the boldest of the year so far. (Guess that isn't hard given we are not yet a week into January).......Stew and I are a perfect match.

    That's right! When it comes to a roast chicken we are the perfect pair ๐Ÿ˜‰ I love chicken thighs, as they are juicy and full of flavour. Stew on the other hand prefers the breast meat.

    That is great if we are having a whole chicken but when it comes to buying chicken portions I can't please us both. So I try to mix it up and alternate thighs and breast, although if I am honest it isn't an equal split.... thighs appear more often than breast, well I must teach the boys the virtues of the dark meat!

    Some recipes I find it easy to switch between and some the thigh is the very point of the dish. This greek chicken dish is a switcher. I prefer it with thighs, but chicken breast works well. You just need to reduce the cooking time to ensure your breasts don't dry out. Depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts they will need about 30 minutes in total.

    This is a great dish as it uses one cooking pot ๐Ÿ™‚ well it uses one assuming you have a casserole/pan that can be used on the hob and in the oven. If not you will need to cook the sauce in a frying pan and then transfer everything to a baking dish.

    My boys love this, but they will pick the feta off (Mr 4 also picks out the onions!!!!) so I tend to serve it without feta and then just add it to my plateย at the table.ย We usuallyย eat this greek chicken some greek couscous, or Greek Rice, or Greek Orzo or Greek Lemon Potatoes and always plenty of bread, either a crusty tiger loaf or some turkish bread.

    This is also delicious eaten cold ๐Ÿ˜ณ or chop any remaining chicken, spread the sauce and chicken over a pizza base and then sprinkle with feta and bake for a Greek style pizza.

      I always read the reviews and was delighted to find your Greek spice blend.
      I rubbed it onto the thighs and also into the pot and baked at 200. This really took it to another level and it was absolutely delicious!! I also used goats cheese in place of feta plus Kalamata olives, which I think are the best.. scrummy.
      My new favourite recipe. Thank you.

      I had to look up what a capsicum was. We call them bell peppers. LOL! Great recipe!

        I always try for the side that has the most feta too! Warm feta is divine!

        It is delicious as a dish to chop up into salad. Either a green salad or with a couscous salad.

      I am loving all the flavours in this dish! What sort of spices go into the greek seasoning though? We don't have a pre-made blend like that here in the UK.

        Oh no! Actually I have to admit I don't remember it in stores from my time in the UK.
        I quite often make my own blend as it is expensive to buy here. (probably should pop it up in the blog!!)

        But my blend is:
        1 tbsp dried oregano
        1 tbsp dried marjoram (or double your oregano)
        1 1/2 tsp onion powder
        1 tsp garlic powder
        1 tsp dried basil
        1 tsp dried parsley
        1 tsp sweet paprika
        1 tsp black pepper
        1/2 tsp dried thyme
        1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
        1/2 tsp cinnamon

      Hi Claire. One pot wonder, I am with you on the chicken thighs. I assume you used Greek olives, not plain black olives. I love Feta with olives, some nice crusty bread and wine and I am one happy gal.

        Yup, usually I use kalamata olives. Although some times the pitted black ones are all I have in the cupboard and they still work.
        But I am with you, crusty bread makes everything better!!!! So pass me a glass of wine!
