I have a bank of recipes that I lean into during busy weeknights and this One Pot Greek Chicken and Rice is one that always makes the cut. My family loves this recipe, there is minimal fuss, very little chopping, very little to wash up and yet you are left with a flavour-packed dish that will taste like it’s taken you hours to prepare! The chicken is coated in a quick marinade of lemon, garlic and oregano, before being cooked simultaneously with the rice in chicken stock. The juices mingle and the rice soaks up all of the delicious flavour from the chicken and stock. A handful of spinach leaves and a sprinkle of feta cheese finish it off. It is so simple, yet so delicious, filled with loads of flavour.
Note 1 – Chicken breast can also be used but does not produce results that are as succulent and juicy. It tends to be a little bit drier.
Note 2 – Substitute the vegetables to suit your taste – spinach, kale, silverbeet, sliced green beans, diced zucchini, peas, or broccoli florets work well.
The chicken can be marinated 48 hours before cooking.
Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave. Not suitable to freeze.

I’ve just discovered your recipes and I’ve already made a few. Have loved them so far and this Greek chicken is on high rotation, the family loves it. I’ve cooked it in a camp oven on the fire and came out even better! Mmmmm

Just curious what side (veggies) you would put with this dish to make it a full meal? I’m always keen to get veggies in with kids.

I love this with steamed greens drizzled with olive oil, lemon juice and salt (my kids love broccolini or green beans). But I also love it with a simple green salad dressed with S&P, olive oil and apple cider vinegar. The acidic dressing works so well with the feta and rice. I hope that helps! ❤️
