I love an easy one pot meal! Especially during a busy work week when you want a meal that’s healthy and loaded with flavor but don’t have the energy to put in a ton of effort. I have your answer with my Greek lemon chicken dinner! It’s minimal ingredients, healthy, fresh and fast! What’s not to love about cooking a dinner bathing in wine, garlic and lemon juice, am I right?! I couldn’t believe how juicy the chicken turned out. It paired so well with the kalamata olive and lemon flavors. Pair this meal with a nice greek salad or some green beans to round out the dish!

Notes
- If you can’t find fresh oregano, you can use any type of fresh herb you like. Parsley, dill or thyme would be great substitutions or just some additional dried oregano would work fine as well.
- The potatoes are sooo amazing in this dish and would be on another level of amazing if you paired them with my whipped feta recipe! Those D to the LISH taters dipped in the whipped feta would be heaven!
- My recommended wine pairing for this dish is exactly what you are using to cook with. Grab a nice bottle of Sauvignon Blanc or a French Chardonnay! They are both great choices and accompany the dinner and your glass perfectly!
