How many times a week does your family eat chicken for dinner? This is not an authentic Greek dish (as far as I know!) but it is made using classic Greek ingredients. The beauty of this is that it is all made in one pot / pan. You can have Greek Lemon Chicken Rice using 10 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

Ingredients of Greek Lemon Chicken Rice

1. Prepare 3 cup of cooked white rice.
2. It's 2 tbsp of butter.
3. It's 1/3 cup of white wine.
4. Prepare 3 tbsp of lemon juice.
5. You need 1/2 cup of blanched fresh pea pods.
6. It's 1 1/4 tsp of Greek seasoning.
7. You need 1/4 cup of chopped purple onion.
8. Prepare 1/2 cup of chopped yellow pepper.
9. Prepare 1/2 cup of chopped cooked chicken.

Cooking the rice with the chicken on top adds extra flavour to the rice because the chicken juices get soaked up by the rice. The marinade is super simple to put together - just whisk up the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and Greek seasoning and pour it over the chicken. Add in some chicken broth and Greek seasoning. We use and love Cavender's Greek Seasoning in this recipe and in many others - it's perfect just sprinkled over chicken or pork chops before grilling.
