Going Greek Tonight!

Years ago, while living in West Germany, I embraced the culture and the cultures of those who had settled in Schweinfurt.  One of my fondest memories was of eating in a remote restaurant kilometers away from everyone...and everything.  Nestled among the towering evergreen trees was the most delightful Greek restaurant.  Having never eaten "Greek" food, I trusted my native-born German friend to choose for me. 

My world changed forever! 

Tonight's fare is a simple, easy to prepare dish I lovingly call,

Greek Potatoes and Chicken
for 2 adults
4 medium potatoes, scrubbed and washed- unpeeled
1 cup good olive oil
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tablespoon oregano
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tsp each salt and pepper
4 chicken breast tenders

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray a baking pan with olive oil or non-stick spray.

Pierce potatoes and place them in the microwave.  Cook for 7 minutes or until potatoes are semi-soft to the touch. 

While potatoes are cooking, in a large bowl mix olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and seasonings.  Chop chicken into bite sized pieces and dump into bowl.  When potatoes are done, cut into large chunks.  Add to bowl.  Stir gently and pour in prepared baking pan. 

Bake for 30 minutes or until chicken is done. 

It's as easy as that and tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen!
