Mama was a working woman (still is!), so she didn’t have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. Most of her meals took little time to prepare, but they were so tasty, like this lemon chicken.
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken, cut up
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 t oregano
10 cloves chopped garlic
6 T olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
salt
pepper
Squeeze the juice of the lemon into a small bowl. Add 4 T of the olive oil, the oregano, and the garlic. Mix.
Pour over the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for an hour.
Brown the chicken over a medium-high heat in 2 T olive oil. Add the white wine, and salt and pepper to taste. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30 minutes. Baste after about 15 minutes, adding a little water or broth (1/4-1/2 cup) if necessary.
You’ll end up with tender chicken, and a beautiful caramel-colored gravy.
Bon appétit!

This recipe looks so good! Another one I want to try!
My Hubby is a terrible cook! He likes everything burnt to a crisp and soaked in butter. I don’t want to have a coronary, so I do all the cooking! xx
My husband still cooks like a bachelor – not unhealthy stuff, just not very tasty (to me). Besides, I like to cook, so he gladly lets me do it.. Try this, Karen – I think he’ll like it and not even miss the butter. ❤
this looks really tasting! i love recipes that aren’t time consuming!
Thank you – I think you’ll love it. Tasty, easy, and healthful. ❤
Nice. I may give this a try.
to save time, I usually cook off 3 – 5 meals on Sunday so all we have to do is reheat during the week.
Well, Guap, I have to say – that’s what we do, too. I should say, that’s what I do because my husband only knows how to cook bachelor meals even though we’ve been married a couple of decades. ❤
