Greek chicken with rice

Greek chicken with rice is a traditional dish deeply rooted in the gastronomy of Greece, where the combination of Mediterranean flavors and fresh aromas reflects the essence of the country's cuisine. This dish is characterized by the mix of tender chicken with rice and typical seasonings like oregano and lemon juice, which provide a unique citrus and herbal touch. In different Latin American countries, especially in places with a population of Greek origin, this dish may be known simply as "chicken with rice Greek style" or "Greek-style chicken." Its roots come from Greek home cooking, where fresh and simple ingredients are used to make nutritious and flavorful recipes.

Besides Greece, similar ingredients and preparations with rice and chicken exist in various Mediterranean cultures, but the distinctive touch lies in the use of oregano and lemon, which give it a special personality. This dish is common at family gatherings and celebrations for its simplicity and comforting flavor.

How to Make Greek Chicken with Rice

To begin, melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat and add the chicken.

Sear on all sides, then remove from the pan and set aside.

Add the onion and tomato and sauté until the onion is translucent.

Incorporate the oregano and lemon juice.

Add the rice and stir well to combine and coat all the grains.

Add the chicken broth, mix, and return the chicken to the pot.

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, uncovered, until all the surface liquid has been absorbed.

Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent the rice from burning or sticking.

The ingredients you will need for this recipe are: chicken pieces, butter, oregano, lemon juice, onion, tomatoes, long-grain white rice, and chicken broth.
