Chicken & Poultry Recipes
Chicken braised with feta and green olives is one of my easiest and most delicious Greek recipes for chicken! It’s an easy weeknight dish that makes ordinary chicken extraordinary, with touches of the Mediterranean diet, and favorite Greek ingredients like real Greek feta and Greek olives.
This is Greek recipe is me revisiting my mom’s Avgolemono soup – Greek Lemony Chicken Soup – recipe. It’s still a family favorite. I’ve added a few tricks of my own to it over the years, though! Greek Avgolemono, the egg-lemon mixture that is whisked with broth to make soups and sauces, may be used […]
Is there a better way to make good use of leftover turkey bones than soup?

A little extra virgin Greek […]
When Thanksgiving’s done and gone, this Greek leftover turkey salad is my go-to Greek recipe for making good, easy use of whatever meat is still around!

Dried fruits and meat are a common combination in Sephardic and Northern Greek cooking. I paired this chicken recipe with an Agiorghitiko red wine from Nemea.
In the Foods that Unite Us episode of My Greek Table, Season 4, Grek-Mex Chicken Fajitas is a favorite recipe mostly because the marriage of Greek and Mexican cuisines is becoming all the more popular in Athens.

Rooster is a much esteemed meat in the Mediterranean and in the Greek diet especially, where it is reserved for Sunday and festive meals.

The Mediterranean diet and Greek diet (pretty much the same thing) when manifested in their most […]
