This amazing roasted Greek Lemon Chicken is just the recipe you need to change up your typical chicken dinner night at home. The seasonings for this dinner are a perfect blend of dried oregano, dried basil, salt, lemon pepper, minced garlic, and olive oil. A drizzle of fresh lemon juice is the finishing touch! What kind of chicken is used in this recipe? You’ll need a 3 to 4-pound whole roaster-chicken from the fresh poultry department of your local grocery store. Be sure to remove the bag of giblets, usually inside the cavity of the chicken, and discard before cooking. It also helps to pat the chicken dry on all sides with a paper towel to help the Greek seasoning rub stick to the chicken. What type of pasta is used in this recipe? Any long, thin pasta works with this recipe: spaghetti, angel hair, linguine, or bucatini for example. Step by step Greek Lemon Chicken directions: In a small bowl, stir together oregano, basil, salt, lemon pepper, minced garlic, and olive oil. Spread over entire surface of chicken. Pierce a lemon and place inside the cavity of the roaster-chicken. Slice the second lemon in half and squeeze both halves over the chicken, being sure to catch any seeds that may fall. Place the lemon halves along with the chicken in the baking dish. Pour 2 cups of chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish. Bake the chicken at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 – 2 hours or until juices run clear and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Transfer chicken to a platter and cover tightly with foil. Prepare pasta in a pot of boiling water according to package directions. Drain pasta and place into baking dish. Using tongs, stir the pasta into the juices of the baking dish. Serve sliced chicken over top pasta with additional juices ladled over the top as desired. If you liked this recipe for Greek Lemon Chicken, please leave a rating and a comment below this post!
