Mediterranean Chicken

Mediterranean Chicken is not your typical chicken dinner.  Chicken thighs are marinated in a yogurt based marinade with rich, warm spices, lemon juice and fresh herbs. The chicken is baked until tender and juicy and finished off with fresh parsley, feta cheese and paired with lemon parsley orzo.

HOW TO PREPARE MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN

1. Preheat oven to 425 F degrees. 2. Use a long cutting board and lay your chicken thighs out in a row or use a large bowl. 

CRISPY SKIN:  For an extra crispy skin on your chicken thighs brown the chicken in a cast iron skillet or regular skillet with the skin side down for about 3-4 minutes over medium high heat.
