Tonight for dinner I am making a Mediterranean Chicken. Chicken is one of those dishes that are enjoyed by every culture so after my recipe I am going to list different chicken dishes that we enjoy on a regular basis.
The recipe I am using for Mediterranean Chicken is adapted from Hun... What's for Dinner. She adapted her recipe from For the Love of Cooking. Both of these recipes are for Chicken Thighs. Those of you that follow my blog know that my chicken does not come in pieces, wrapped in plastic at the grocery store. My chickens are raised by me and then frozen whole. For this recipe I am using the thighs and drumsticks from a whole chicken. The breast meat will be used in Thursday's dinner of Chicken Parmesan and the rest of the chicken will be used for Saturday's dinner. Check back for those photos and recipes.

Place all ingredients in a large Ziploc bag and let Chicken marinate overnight or for at least 2 hrs. in the refrigerator.

ReplyDeleteI just ordered my beef for this year and when I went through my freezers to make room I was very surprised how much beef I had left from last year. I am going to have to add some more beef recipes to my repertoire I guess.
