Kalamata-Lemon Chicken

Features:

    This was very good, and I am sure I will make it again. used bone in thighs and I think that was a good choice, they were falling off the bone tender. I loved the tangy flavor that the olives and lemons provided, but next time, I will include even more. The lemon wedges were a little bitter, so next time I will remove them before serving, but I would like even more lemon flavor. Maybe adding more lemon juice would do it. Thanks for posting!

    Kalamata-Lemon Chicken, This is a very good Mediterranean style chicken dish that I love (lemon lover here) You just brown the chicken for a few mins and add the rest of the ingredients and place it in the oven while you go about making a salad (or whatever) , This was very good, and I am sure I will make it again used bone in thighs and I think that was a good choice, they were falling off the bone tender I loved the tangy flavor that the olives and lemons provided, but next time, I will include even more The lemon wedges were a little bitter, so next time I will remove them before serving, but I would like even more lemon flavor Maybe adding more lemon juice would do it Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT9, I think I will hold off on reviewing this I had mixed feelings about it But I did make some changes I left out the orzo to reduce the carbs and used less than a cup of broth used dried oregano and powdered garlic for the Greek seasoning I felt that the seasonings with the broth were spot-on for flavor I don’t know if it was the olives or the lemon slices that made the flavor off to me Next time I may try just juicing the lemon and maybe tossing in some zest but not the slices I think the rind made the sauce bitter
