Greek Garlic-Lemon Chicken Recipe
This is my version of Uncle George's lemon-garlic chicken in Astoria, Queens.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs (skinless, bone-in) salted and peppered
- 4 large yukon gold potatoes
- 1 head garlic (peeled)
- 1 lemon (seeds, rind and pith removed; sliced)
- 2 C chicken broth
- 2 TB butter
- 2 TB flour
- salt & pepper to taste
Directions
- Place broth and garlic cloves in sauce pan on medium high heat, simmer for 15-20 mins.; remove cloves and set aside.
- In a smoking hot, oiled cast-iron skillet sear both sides of the chicken thighs until browned. Remove and tent with foil.
- Peel and quarter potatoes lengthwise. Soak in heavily salted water.
- Add butter to skillet; when melted add flour. Cook roux for a minute or two, then slowly add chicken broth, salt and pepper. Simmer in skillet until thickened slightly.
- Add chicken thighs and potatoes to skillet, top with garlic cloves and arrange lemon slices on top of chicken.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 mins.
