Greek Chicken with Potatoes & Feta
This dish was a big success. It was easy to put together, extremely delicious and it took not time to cook. Best of all, it is one-pot meal. I wanted to make the meal extra healthy so I roasted a couple bunches of asparagus on the side. I served my daughter some crusty bread on the side with the chicken and some asparagus. I ate it just with the asparagus and it was extremely satisfying.
I had a tray of chicken thighs and legs which I marinated in some garlic, olives, lemon juice and oregano- all the flavors I think of when Greek cuisine comes to mind.
I then cut up some tomatoes and potatoes, mixed it all together and had an amazing dinner. Some delicious red wine made it even better- enjoy!

Once the vegetables are roasted to perfection, I added the feta. The vegetables were delicious with the oregano and feta. They were a perfect complement to the shrimp bisque. The crusty bread finished the dish off beautifully…
