Delicious, flavorful, zesty dish that is fairly simple that the whole family will love!
This recipe creates an amazing moist breast with a crunchy outside. Then to top it all off… the zesty dressing filled with lemon, dill, honey, feta cheese and oil that adds the perfect zing! I make the dressing first to let the flavors develop and its so good.
I like to serve with tumeric rice. You can find my recipe here. https://sluttymarthacooks.com/tantalizing-turmeric-rice/
A greek style potato. I use baby reds. Simply par boil them then dress in olive oil, oregano, tyme, dill, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes.
You can always do a salad covered with peppers, olives, feta, tomatoes, red onions, peppercinis, and your favorite vinaigrette.
