This recipe comes from my friend Lisa in Washington who got it from her friend Ann in Dallas who got it from … oh I dunno.
But it is a recipe that should, like a chain letter, pass from one harried home cook to the next.
To speed up the process, I’m sharing it with faithful Kitchen Parade readers. So please, don’t break the chain, do pass it along!
I promise, it’s one quick supper that you simply don’t want to miss. With fast, delicious and healthful ordnance in your supper armory, who needs to battle carry-out?
Add a salad and a vegetable (or the Curried Rice that follows) and just like that, supper’s on the table.
Pass it on. PASS IT ON!
CURRIED RICE While the chicken marinates, melt a tablespoon of butter in a large skillet. Add chopped onion, slivered almonds, a chopped red or green pepper and a couple of chopped carrots. Sauté til just cooked. Stir in a teaspoon of curry powder, salt and pepper and two cups of cooked rice and warm through.
This chicken’s good hot and cold, broiled and grilled, just-cooked and leftover. It is practically a miracle food!
QUICK SUPPER:
GREEK FETA CHICKEN
Then marinate: 30 minutes
Then oven time: 15 minutes
Serves 4 (or 8 with 2 pounds chicken)
- 1 cup low-fat yogurt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 2 pounds for ‘planned-overs’)
- 1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled (or 2/3 cup for 2 pounds chicken)
Whisk together the yogurt, garlic, oregano and black pepper in a large bowl. Cut the breasts into serving pieces and stir into the yogurt. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Place an oven rack just below the broiler and preheat the broiler. Cover a baking sheet with foil. Remove the chicken from the yogurt (discard what remains) and arrange smooth-side down on the foil, thicker pieces in the center where they’ll be closer to the heat. Broil the chicken for 6 minutes, then turn over. Sprinkle with feta and broil for another 5 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center shows juice that runs clear.
