Easy & Delish: One Dish!

You can cook all of this meal in one dish!...that doesn't include the containers for prep though :) I got everything ready ahead of time this afternoon when I had about 15 minutes. When it came time to cook, it was super easy to assemble the meal!

One Skillet, Greek Lemon Chicken with Mixed Grains 

For the chicken...get 1# of chicken breasts 

Mix your marinade of:

4 garlic cloves, minced 

The juice of 1-2 lemons +4 Tablespoons (I used 6 T of pre-squeezed lemon juice today!) 

1 T oregano

1/2 t table salt 

--> marinate your chicken for about 2 hours at least or overnight 

For the rice mixture:

1 small onion, chopped

1T oregano

2.5 c chicken broth

Grain of your choice, I did a mixture of pearled couscous, bulgur wheat and quinoa 

1/4 t salt 

Preheat oven to 350

Step 1

Heat 1.5 T olive oil in a large, oven proof skillet. Brown chicken on both sides. Once browned, set aside.

Wipe pan down with a paper towel to remove the blackened bits.  

Step 2

Add ~1T of olive oil to the pan, over medium/high heat. Add onions and stir until translucent.

Step 3

Add rice mixture (all remaining ingredients) to the pan and stir. Bring to boiling. Remove from heat, place browned chicken on top of the rice then cover the dish with the lid. 

Step 4

Put into oven. Bake approximately 30 minutes covered then another 10 minutes or so uncovered, until the liquid has evaporated and the grains are tender. 

Enjoy!
