    Annacia's Note:

    This is a very good Mediterranean style chicken dish that I love (lemon lover here). You just brown the chicken for a few mins and add the rest of the ingredients and place it in the oven while you go about making a salad (or whatever).

      1/10-- sent DH to the store for some "skin-on, bone-in thunder-thighs"! Added some Meyer lemon juice (courtesy of an Arizona Zaarie), and threw in 6-8 peeled garlic cloves . Set at 400* for 60 min, then reduced to 350* for another 30 ! YUMMM! NO leftovers !! 4/07I used 4 LARGE bone-in, skin-on thighs - believe that is more flavorful. Let it bake for about 45-50 minutes -- prefer doneness to falling off the bone tender. The combination of lemon, kalamata, and Greek seasoning made a nice, flavorful dish -- and preparation was surely a snap. Served withBalsamic Baby Carrots for an easy Saturday night meal -- with sufficient leftovers for a repeat. Thanks for posting. Janey

      This was a wonderful recipe. Very easy to put together. I had chicken thighs in the fridge so used those instead of breasts but other than that I made the recipe just like it was written. My family loved it! We will definitely be eating this again. Thanks for a great recipe. MADE FOR ZWT4 FOR DAFFY DAFFODILS

      This was good but for some reason a bit too lemony. I made it exactly as the recipe said except left out the olives and used drumsticks. It was an easy meal to prepare and I will probably try it again in the future.
