Greek Isle Chicken
Oxmoor House
The secret to the rich flavor of this dish is to brown the chicken on both sides until it's golden before finishing it in the oven, creating a well-caramelized crust. Test the pan with a droplet of water to make sure it's hot enough before adding the chicken–the water should sizzle when it hits the pan.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°.
Step 2
. Squeeze 1 lemon half, and reserve juice. Thinly slice other lemon half crosswise, and quarter each slice. Combine quartered lemon slices, tomatoes, and next 3 ingredients in a medium bowl; add 2 teaspoons olive oil, and toss to combine.
Step 3
. Sprinkle both sides of chicken evenly with Greek seasoning. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm.
Step 4
. Add reserved lemon juice to pan, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add tomato mixture to pan, stirring gently.
Step 5
. Place chicken on top of tomato mixture, and place pan in oven. Bake at 400° for 20 to 22 minutes or until chicken is done. Garnish with oregano sprigs, if desired.

I followed recipe strictly and it came out delicious and very fragrant. I never cooked olives with lemon and tomatoes, but when I served this dish the sauce with the olives and tomatoes were so popular that there was disappointment when it was gone. Refreshing way to prepare chicken. I will make this again and try the sauce with other meats.
