This chicken was delicious! I marinated it for a few hours before cooking, and it really made a difference. The meat was so tender and flavorful.

This Greek-style chicken was a hit with my family! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the lemon-herb sauce was amazing. I served it with rice and roasted vegetables, and it was a complete meal.
