Do you love the flavor of Greek style chicken but don’t want to spend a lot of time making it? This easy recipe can be ready in just thirty minutes! For speed, this recipe eliminates marinating the chicken, but if you have the time, feel free to marinate the chicken in a gallon size ziplock bag using the oil and lemon dressing for an hour or two before you make the meal.

Greek Grilled Chicken Recipe Ingredients:

  • 8 boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 recipe oil and lemon dressing (ladolemono)
  • Fresh chopped herbs, like oregano, chives, or thyme, to garnish

How to Make Greek Grilled Chicken:

Preheat the grill to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit if using a propane grill, or prepare the coals if using a charcoal grill.

Prepare the oil and lemon dressing according to the instructions. Brush each piece on both sides with the dressings. Brush the tops with more dressing.

Place each breast half on the grill. Flip after 8 minutes. Brush the tops with more of the dressing. Discard the leftover. Cook for another 8 minutes.

Although this dish is traditionally served on islands like Folegandros for special occasions like Christmas, it can really be prepared all year long. However, it isn’t always made with chicken. Sometimes, the locals prepare it with goat meat, instead. This recipe uses a 4-5 pound chicken, but you can also use a small turkey or turkey breast instead.

Greek Style Stuffed and Poached Chicken (Kota Gemisti Stin Katsarola) Recipe Ingredients:

  • 1 whole chicken, about 5 pounds
  • 1/2 cup Greek olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped fine
  • 4 slices stale bread, cubed into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 cup currants or raisins
  • 3 cups sweet red wine, like Mavrodaphne
  • 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 large egg, beaten with a fork
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions to Prepare Greek Poached Chicken:

Add 1/4 cup of the oil to a Dutch oven and heat over medium. Add the chopped onion and saute for five minutes, or until the onions are soft. Remove from the pan and add to a small dish. Use a slotted spoon so the oil stays behind. Add the bread to the dutch oven and saute for about four minutes, being careful to turn the bread cubes so that they cook evenly. They should be golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bread cubes from the dutch oven and onto a plate.

Add the onions back into the Dutch oven and also add the currants or raisins. Set the heat on medium and saute the two together for a few minutes or until the currants begin to crackle. Add 1/2 cup of the wine and stir with a wooden spoon. Remove the pan from the heat. After you do that, add the bread, parsley, salt, and pepper to the Dutch oven and stir with a wooden spoon to mix. Add the egg and toss into the mixture until the egg is well combined.

Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the bread mixture. Close the opening of the cavity shut with kitchen twin or toothpicks.

Wipe the Dutch oven with paper towels. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of the olive oil and butter and return it over medium heat. Cook the chicken, being careful to turn it on all of its sides so that the chicken is evenly browned. This should take a total of twelve minutes. Add the rest of the wine (2 1/2 cups) and turn the chicken on all of its sides to coat it with wine. Add enough water so that 2/3 of the chicken is covered with liquid. Cover the Dutch oven and bring it to a boil. Set the heat to low after it boils and simmer for 30 minutes. After 15 minutes, turn the chicken over.

Uncover the pot and add salt, to taste. Simmer on low, covered, for another 30 minutes, turning it once at the 15-minute point. When done, transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Wait about 10 minutes before cutting the chicken so that you don’t lose all the tasty juices.

Don’t throw away the juices. While the chicken is resting, bring the juices to a boil with the Dutch oven uncovered. Simmer the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Use this as a sauce for the chicken once you serve it.

Kota me Krasi is a dish that is popular throughout Greece, but this particular version is especially popular on the island of Corfu since it contains ingredients such as fennel, which grow well on the island. The common theory is that this stew is particularly influenced by the Venetian occupation of the island.

Greek Style Chicken Stew (Kota me Krasi) Recipe Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup Greek olive oil
  • 3 slices pancetta, diced
  • One whole chicken (about 4 pounds), cut in 6 pieces
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 3 carrots, peeled and cut into 4 pieces
  • 1 fennel bulb, fronds removed and chopped
  • 2 cups whole, small mushrooms – washed and trimmed (optional)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup sweet red wine, such as Mavrodaphne
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Water, as needed
  • 3 tablespoons chopped, fresh parsley

Directions to Make Greek Chicken Stew:

Add the oil to a dutch oven and heat over medium for 30 seconds. Add the pancetta and saute for 1 minute. Add the chicken and sear on on side for 5 minutes. Turn the pieces over and sear for another 5 minutes. Sear the chicken pieces in batches if they don’t fit in the pan at once. Remove the chicken fro the pan and set aside.

Add the onions, carrots, and fennel and saute over medium heat for 5 minutes. If using mushrooms, add them and saute for 1 minute. After that, add the garlic and saute for one minute. Add the chicken back to the pan and add the sweet wine, dried wine, red pepper flakes, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and salt. If the mixture doesn’t cover the chicken, add a little water until it does.

Cover the pan and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it does, reduce the heat to low to simmer the stew for 45 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over, return the lid to the pan, and then simmer the stew for another 45 minutes.

Remove the chicken and vegetables from the pan, leaving the liquid behind. With the pan uncovered, bring the liquid to a boil and then drop it to a simmer. Let it cook for about five minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables and then sprinkle with the fresh parsley just before serving.

It may seem strange, but this recipe really does call for 3 pounds of parsley. Since that might be unrealistic for most people, feel free to simply use as much parsley as you can. You can also use some parsley, and then substitute the rest of the amount for spinach or another type of green that cooks down well when cooked.

ChickenParsleyGreek Style Chicken with Parsley in Egg Lemon Sauce Recipe Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 free range (about 2 1/2 lbs.) chicken, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup white wine
  • Pepper
  •  Salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 pounds parsley, washed and drained (see above for notes)
  • 10 chives
  • Egg and lemon sauce
  • Parsley for garnish

Instructions to Prepare Greek Chicken With Parsley:

Heat half the oil in a heavy skillet. Sauté the chicken pieces until they are golden all over, about 3 minutes, then pour in the wine and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the salt, pepper and water. Simmer for 30 minutes, adding a little more water if needed.

Cut the off the leaves and discard most of the stems of the parsley.

In another skillet, heat the remaining oil and sauté the chives and the parsley. Add them to the chicken and cook for 10 to 15 minutes more.

When the chicken and parsley are tender, arrange the chicken pieces in the center of a hot serving plate and place the parsley around the chicken. Pour the avgolemono sauce over, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Once they have begun to cook, add two cups of water and let simmer for about half an hour.

Add the okra, cover the pot and let cook until no liquid remains, only the butter.

During the cooking the only concern is that the pot doesn’t go dry, therefore, if necessary, add water from time to time.

Note: If desired, you can fry the okra first. In this case, let the meal cook for only three quarters to one hour, until only the sauce remains, no liquid since the fried okra cooks faster and doesn’t require so much water.

Chicken White SauceGreek Style Chicken in White Garlic Sauce Recipe Ingredients:
  • 1 free range chicken (about 3 lbs.), cut into serving pieces
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 medium, quartered onion
  • Pepper
  • Salt
  • Flour for dredging
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 4 -5 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 2 tablespoons, red wine type vinegar
  • 1 cup, ground walnuts
  • 1/2 cup, coarsely crushed almonds

How to Prepare Greek Style Chicken With White Sauce:

Place the chicken in a pan and cover with water. Add the bay leaf, onion, and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until tender but firm.

Remove the chicken pieces from the pan with a slotted spoon, pass the stock through a fine sieve, and skim off and discard as much fat as possible. Measure the stock; you should have about 3 cups. If it is more, reduce it over high heat. If it is less, add a little water.

Heat some olive oil in a deep skillet. Lightly dredge the chicken with flour and fry until golden brown on all sides. Transfer the fried pieces to paper towels and keep warm.

Discard the frying oil from the skillet and wipe with paper towels. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over low heat, and whisk in the 3 tablespoons of flour. Continue whisking for about 1 minute, until it begins to froth.

Remove from the heat and add the garlic, reserved stock, wine, vinegar, and walnuts, whisking constantly. Return to the stove and continue whisking over medium heat until the sauce begins to thicken. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary.

Arrange the chicken on a heated plate, and pour the sauce over it. Sprinkle with almonds and serve immediately.
