‪‎Greek Style Garlic Chicken

I am writing a blog post after almost a month which is like a decade for me. There are very few things than cooking that motivates me more. When I feel lazy and don't feel like writing on my blog,  I cook and post the recipe. I find it easy and less time-consuming.

This particular recipe was prepared by me for the cooking competition that was held in my office two days back. I knew that I will post the recipe but only after the results were out. The results are due next week. Although I stand no chance, but it was loved by my colleagues and friends and that made me so so happy!

This is the first time, I cooked with Oregano which is also known as the Pasta Herb. It has a very strong and distinct smell which makes a dish with the spice stand out among all other dishes. This was also the first time I cooked with Olive Oil. It was also my first cooking competition, of any sorts.

Lots of first times.

It's a very simple recipe which has main 3 ingredients. Garlic, Oregano and Lemon Juice. There were certain modifications that I did which made it different from the original recipe. The recipe from www.allrecipes.com used Chicken Breasts but I used simple boneless chicken. This dish is very low on calorific value because it uses only Olive Oil. I also used Oregano because it is widely used in Italian and Greek dishes.

Here comes the recipe:

Ingredients:

Chicken - 1 kg (boneless).

Lemon Juice - 1/2 Cup.

Red chilli powder - 2 teaspoons.

Black Pepper powder - Half a teaspoon.

Garlic Paste - 100 gms. (There is nothing as too much Garlic)

Oregano - 1 teaspoon.

Olive Oil- 5 tablespoons.

Salt to taste.

Procedure:

Marinate the chicken with all the ingredients.

The Marinade

Refrigerate it overnight.

Heat a little bit of Olve Oil in a wok.

Add the chicken.

Cook till the chicken is boiled and the juices get dried up.

Sprinkle a little bit of Oregano and serve.

P.S - You can also cook this in the Microwave.
