Ingredients

1 cup pitted Kalamata olives, drained, halved (½ cup brine reserved)

1 cup Greek yogurt


5 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed


3 lemons, 1 zested and juiced, 2 sliced into rounds

1 bunch oregano, fresh

Instructions

  1. In food processor, purée ½ cup of olives, Greek yogurt, 2 garlic cloves, zest and juice of 1 lemon, and 1 tablespoon of fresh oregano. Add purée and chicken to ziplock bag and evenly coat chicken. Let sit 30 minutes at room temperature or overnight in refrigerator.

How’d it Taste?

  • Margaret says:

    Haven’t tried this yet and it looks delicious but I have a question: baby potatoes are in the oven at 450 F. for over an hour? I’m thinking 450 F. for 45 minutes for the chicken will be a challenge to avoid burning. None of the comments reflected this issue so it’s probably not a problem but let me know if possible and thanks 🙂

  • KS says:

    Great one pan meal. Used chicken thighs as that’s what I had on hand – flavors were great, not overwhelmed by the olives but the right balance with the lemons. Will definitely make this again.

  • Jess E says:

    Next time I will skip/reduce the water and hope the veggies get nicely caramelized.

  • Sally K says:

    Just delicious, prepared it just as written. Will go into rotation, particularly on cooler evenings!
