One pot chicken and rice dish with loads of Greek flavor. Tomatoes, lemon juice, and oregano simmered with white rice and browned chicken is easy, healthy, and delicious. Use thighs for extra juicy chicken.

ingredients
3 pounds chicken parts
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons oregano
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 pound tomatoes, peeled and chopped
3 cups long-grain white rice
6 cups chicken stock
directions
In a large saucepan melt butter over medium heat and add chicken. Brown on all sides then remove from pan and set aside.
Add onion and tomato and saute until onion turns translucent. Stir in oregano and lemon juice. Add rice and stir well to combine and coat all grains of rice.
Add chicken stock, stir and return chicken to pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until all surface liquid has been absorbed.
Cover, turn heat to very low and cook 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to keep rice from burning or sticking.

We love Greek dishes, & this delicious chicken dish was enjoyed by all. I used bone in skin on drumsticks & thighs. Instead of plain oregano I used "Cavenders Greek Seasoning". I also added some sliced fresh Crimini mushrooms. This is a lovely recipe, and we'll be making it often. Thank you :-)

This was the first recipe I tried from your site. It was excellent! I scaled it down to serve two people and it worked perfectly - excellent flavour, easy to make. We loved it - it was a great experience.
