EASY MEDITERRANEAN LEMON CHICKEN RECIPE
This lemon chicken recipe is an easy weeknight dinner that will not disappoint. If you have the time, let the chicken marinate in the fridge for a few hours. But if not, letting it marinate at room temperature for just a few minutes will still impart flavor. See suggestions in notes for what to serve along!

Steps:
- In a small bowl, add the spices and mix to make the spice mixture.
- In another bowl or large measuring cup, combine the lemon juice, olive oil and garlic to make the marinade.
- Pat the chicken dry and season with kosher salt and pepper and sprinkle the spice mixture on both sides.
- Place the chicken in a bowl and add the onions. Pour in the marinade and work the chicken a bit to make sure all the pieces are well covered with the marinade.
- Leave the chicken to marinate at room temperature while you heat up the grill or griddle. OR, if you have the time, cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours (or up to 8 hours).
- When ready, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat (or an outdoor grill over medium-high heat). Do not add oil yet to the pan. Add the lemon halves, flesh side down, and grill briefly. Remove the grilled lemons and set aside for now.
- Now, brush the pan with a little extra virgin olive oil. Using a pair of tongs, add the chicken pieces in one layer (discard any remaining marinade). Cook for 6 minutes or so on each side or until chicken is well cooked through (you can adjust heat to medium, if needed. If using an outdoor grill, carefully oil the grates and cook the chicken over medium-high heat for the same amount of time. (Chicken's internal temperature should register 165 degrees F).
- Transfer the grilled lemon chicken to a serving platter. Add the grilled lemons (which you can squeeze for a little more juice), and garnish with parsley. See notes for serving ideas.

MEDITERRANEAN LEMON CHICKEN
A quick and easy saute with the flavors of the Mediterranean in a light sauce. I like this served over basmati rice: the fragrant rice compliments the lemon and oregano and makes a nice meal. And the rice cooks in the time it takes to make this entree, so everything is ready at the same time. A note on the use of arrowroot instead of cornstarch: Arrowroot is a good thickener for an acidic liquid (Cornstarch loses potency in acids.) It is also a good choice if your sauce is mildly flavored. When you're looking for a high-gloss finish, use arrowroot.

Steps:
- Saute the chicken pieces in the butter and olive oil until golden.
- Add minced garlic and shallots.
- Add 1 cup chicken broth, oregano, lemon juice, lemon zest and garlic pepper.
- Stir, and as liquid is reduced, ballast with additional broth to prevent drying out. You may use the whole can--you should keep a good balance of liquid to the chicken pieces to form a sauce.
- Add arrowroot to a bit (about one tablespoon) of the broth, mix until dissolved and stir into the saute.
- Continue stirring until the sauce thickens and a glaze is formed.
- Remove from the stove and serve over basmati rice.

Steps:
- Put the stock into the pan and bring to the boil. Add the garlic cloves, cover and simmer gently for 40 minutes.
- Heat the butter and oil in a sauté or frying pan, add the chicken thighs (you can cut them in halves) and cook them gently on all sides until golden. Transfer them to an ovenproof dish.
- Preheat oven to 190°/375°/gas 5.
- Strain the stock and reserve it. Distribute the garlic and lemon slices among the chicken pieces.
- Add the flour to the fat in the pan in which the chicken was browned and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the wine, stirring constantly and scarping the bottom of the pan, than add the stock. Cook stirring until the sauce has thickened and is smooth. Season it with salt and pepper.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken, add dried basil, cover and cook in the oven for 40-45 minutes. If a thicker sauce is required, lift out the chicken pieces and reduce the sauce by boiling rapidly until it reaches desired consistency.
