Is it rude to want to lick the plate? Probably, so I showed great restraint with this meal. I got up as much as I could with the fork though. 🙂
I have a cookery book called “The Foods of the Greek Islands” by Aglaia Kremezi. All sorts of wonderful recipes to try.
This is my version of the dish. I didn’t vary to far from the recipe but I also wasn’t in the mood to use any blender. And I changed the amounts of the ingredients for the balance I wanted.
In a skillet, heat up about a 1/4 cup of olive oil. Season the chicken legs with sea salt and pepper. Brown both sides of the chicken.
Remove from the heat. In the scallions add about 1/2 cup of chopped scallions. Cook to they are wilted.
Add the chicken back to the skillet. Add a cup of dry white wine and a cup of chicken stock. Bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes.
Remove the chicken again. Add 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and about 4 tablespoons of chopped dill. Stir well and bring it back to a simmer. Add the chicken once more, cover, and cook until the chicken is cooked.
To serve, cut up the chicken and serve with the sauce spooned over it. We also served this with roasted potatoes and corn.
This has to be one of my favourite sauces I’ve made to date. Very flavourful and bright.
Love chicken prepared this way.The sauce you made looks delicious.
Thank you. 🙂
Gorgeous! Think I’d want to lick the plate too – tell you what, I’ll pop over with a thick slice of sourdough and we can mop it up together 😉
Sounds good to me!
Real food! Delicious.
Thanks!
My favorite herb in a delicious looking dish. Why have I never used dill with chicken before?
I haven’t either until now but it’s fabulous
I think I would be tempted to lick the plate too, looks deilicous.
Thank you!
That sounds wonderful…only I never seem to have any dill. I’m going to grow it next year. By the way, check out “Modern Greek” by Andy Harris..he’s an old friend of mine who spent his childhood on a Greek Island and is now editor of “Jamie Magazine”.
My youngest licks the plate all the time. I worry about the first time he eats at a girlfriend’s house …
That’s awesome. 🙂
This sounds delicious. Love chicken with lemon but have never thought to include dill. I will now, thanks to you. 🙂
Thanks. 😊
