Greek Salsa

[tjg]

I need your help, in Vol 42 there was a recipe for chicken with Greek Salsa, in the move I seem to have mis-placed that volume and recipe. Can anyone help me?

That was part of Old Bay's Dinner Review. I'll do a search and post it for you.

BTW, welcome to the forum tjg! I hope you'll visit often. We love having new members join in our chats and recipe and dinner reviews! Here's the recipe:

Greek Salsa Chicken
(Cuisine at home, December 2003, Issue 42, p. 14)
Makes: 6 Servings Total Time: 1 1/2 Hours

For the Salsa— Combine:
3 pkgs. (4oz. each) crumbled feta cheese
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1 jar (4.75 oz.) pitted kalamata olives
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 lemons, cut into wedges
Related Recipes: Roasted Potatoes

Preheat oven to 450°.
Combine all salsa ingredients in large bowl; cover and chill.

Saute chicken in oil, breast side down, in a large roasting pan over medium-high heat until browned. Turn chicken over.

Squeeze chicken with lemon juice, then nestle the squeezed lemon wedges around the breasts. Roast chicken about 50 minutes, or until it reaches 165° on an instant read thermometer.Transfer chicken and lemons to a large platter and top with salsa.

Notes: Fresh oregano and parsley embellish the bold flavors of the salsa.

If you don’t have a roasting pan, browning the chicken in a large ovenproof skillet will work.

You should take credit, Bill - it was good and I'm so glad it was brought back to our attention by an 'anon' looking at it.
