If you’re looking for a dish that’s sure to impress and tantalize your taste buds, then look no further than the delectable ‘Viva La Chicken’. This simple, yet flavorful, rustic-style chicken recipe is the perfect main course for a special family dinner or a simple weeknight meal.
Mastering the Marinating
The key to making this dish an unforgettable one is mastering the marinating. Our marinade starts with a handful of Mediterranean flavors like garlic, oregano, and paprika. We then mix in honey and freshly squeezed lemon juice to make the chicken extra moist and succulent. Let it sit in the marinade for a minimum of 4 hours, overnight for best results, and you’re two-thirds of the way there!
Peculiar Plating
After the bird has fully soaked in the marinade, it’s time to heat up a pan and get cooking! Cooking chicken on your stovetop is a simple task, but requires precise timing and temperature to ensure success. Once your chicken is finished cooking, you’ll want to plate it with a bed of Mediterranean roasted vegetables and a bowl of starchy Israeli couscous. Lastly, sprinkle some feta cheese over the top of the chicken.
Viva La Chicken!
The final product is an unforgettable chicken dish with a symphony of flavors that give you an intensely delicious bite with every forkful. The aroma of this dish alone is enough to make your mouth water, so it’s no wonder why it’s become a favorite of so many.
