Serves 4-5:
2 pounds (about 5 pieces) chicken thighs, bone-in, and skin removed
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, grated
1 and 1.2 cups basmati rice
1 and ½ cups of chicken broth or water
1 and ½ teaspoon salt
Black pepper, to taste
2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
1-2 roasted red peppers, diced
4-5 olives, pitted and sliced
For the Marinade:
• ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4-5 garlic cloves, grated
• 2 tablespoons dried oregano
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
Garnish: lemon slices and chopped parsley
Make the marinade:
Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, and grated garlic in a small bowl. Add the oregano and whisk together until combined.
Place the chicken thighs in a bowl or on a tray. Pour the marinade over the chicken and season with salt, pepper, and cumin powder. Toss to coat all around. Set aside.
The chicken can be stored in the refrigerator (in an airtight container overnight for maximum flavor). If marinating overnight, allow the chicken to come to room temperature before cooking.
Make the dish:
Place the rice in a large bowl and rinse with cold water, changing the water 3-4 times until it is clear. Cover with cold water and let the rice soak at least 15 minutes.
Place a large (12-inch round) cast iron skillet or a Dutch oven pot over medium heat. Add 2-3 tablespoons of oil in the skillet. Place the chicken in the skillet and reserve the marinade for later. (it will be used to flavor the rice)
Brown the chicken 4-5 minutes on each side. Set aside on a plate. If there are too many burned bits in the pan, wipe it clean before cooking the onions.
Place the chopped onions with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet and cook over medium heat until soft and golden. About 10 minutes.
Add the grated garlic and warm through about 30 seconds taking care not to burn it.
Drain the water from the rice and add the rice to the skillet.
Add the red peppers, olives, broth, salt, pepper, and leftover marinade from the chicken. Add 2-4 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to make it as lemony as desired. Place the chicken in the skillet.
Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pan with a lid. Simmer 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked.
Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve with sliced lemons, a green salad and tzatziki sauce. Enjoy!

Your style is perfect: No excess verbiage, no showing off for the camera, no profanity, no joking. Just good, solid cooking. This recipe is perfect for my taste. Will make it, and thank you.
This lady rocks !
Made this tonight, a delicious, fast meal. I love the extra lemon recommendation. You are my “go to” GREEK cook!
Wow that looks really great and easy. Definately gonna try this. Thanks
I made this million times after following your recipe. Whoever tried always asked me how i made it. 😁 but the credit is all yours.
I just tried it and it was so soooooo good. I really enjoyed. I grew up eating my yiayias food and now that shes not here, it took me back to the memories with her and all the great food. Love that it has the lemony flavor but not overwhelming. I also enjoyed the roasted peppers. Added great flavor. Yumm :) thank you.
Wow this is exactly what I need for a weeknight dinner! I'll be making this one soon. Thanks Dimitra☺
Dimitra, you ever fail to amaze me. Looks like an easy 1 pot recipe that is wholesome & delicious. I'll definitely make this one.
Making this now! I was in the mood for lemony chicken and potatoes but it’s just too hot here in Phoenix to run the oven. This has so much of that flavor and aroma! One of our family doesn’t eat whole olives so I put in some capers (which he adores) instead. I never liked oregano but you’ve taught me that when it’s mixed with lemon something magical happens ❤️❤️❤️
Omg... Love is in the air with this dish!!! We made this today & I’m just loving all the flavors it has. I love Mediterranean Food & I love learning from your channel. We are going to Santorini for our honeymoon too. Thank you! 😃
I know im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a way to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Makai Gianni instablaster :)
@Dario Finley Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im trying it out now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Dario Finley It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account !
@Makai Gianni no problem :D

I can’t wait to try this!!! I tell my husband, I would love to move in and eat everything you cook!!!
This became my family’s favorite dish!
Made this last night. We loved it! Thank you.
I always use Basmati rice and the recipe looks fantastic.
This looks so delicious!😋 I wish I were your neighbour right now! I'm making this after Easter holidays. I seem to be missing the key ingredient. I used to make basmati once in awhile. Since I started watching your channel, I've been using it more often and I prefer it to be honest. Thanks for sharing these wonderful recipes with us. I wish you and your family a Happy Easter!😘
Looks delicious - can’t wait to try!
Delicious, easy recipe! I have made this many times for my family and for group gatherings. Everyone always loves the dish! :)

Looks amazing and simple to prepare. Thank you.
its random but I find that rinsing rice in warm water helps to make it a bit fluffier but it from my experience with trying both methods (warm or cold)multiple times. But i am not an expert lol. btw I am going to try this tmrw. Thank you!
Thank you Dimitra this looks lovely, and I know it will be delicious. ❤️👍

Easy and tasty looking recipe thanks for sharing.can we use freshly roasted red bell pepper.pls do reply.😚👌💕🌺
Gonna try soon x
I made this tonight for dinner. I didn't have jarred roasted peppers. I added an orange bell pepper and sauteed with the onion. I didnt add any hot chilli flakes or mix the olives in while cooking but it was amazing!! I'm going to keep this reciepe as one of my favorites.😘😘😘 Thank you!
Sounds great!
By soaking the rice in wster it cleans ut yes, but basically softens the rice for faster cooking.
I love this rice, now I want to share it wit my family in Colombia, unfortunately they don’t have limes there, what I can replace them with?
Thank you 😊
Hey Dimitri! This looks wonderful..lookimg forward to o e of your cooking classes! Would you change anything If using orzo instead of rice?
Nice. Thank you.🐦
Thank you too
Looks great ❣❣❣
Jasmine rice is best
This looks delicious! Will definitely give it a try. Thanks for the recipe :)
Thank you I'm going to cook the lemony rice but I don't have chicken I will use tin fish I hope it will work.
Thanks
Fabulous
How did you know! I have everything to make this! Guess what's for dinner tonight? 😊
Oh yeah!! Enjoy :)
Can you do skinless boneless thighs?
I was wondering if I could sear the skin in a cast Iron pan, then follow your recipe. The skin is may favorite part.
Yes, that's a great idea :) I hope that you enjoy it!!
Can this be made with chicken breast instead?
I love basmati rice. That's all I eat
👍😊
👍
Looks delicious! Pamela in Detroit Michigan
Aww, thanks for being here Pamela :) xoxo from Texas
How r u I love ur recipes
Yummmmm ❤️
What is difference if you use bone in skinless chicken breast vs thighs?
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yum 😋
Looks delicious, what is it called in greek language?
It would be called Kota lemonati pilafi :)
@@DimitrasDishes made it tonight, delicious almost like a greek paella
That's true!! I didn't think of that :)
Does the rice need to be cooked separately before added to the pot?
Nope. It just gets rinsed and soaked in water for 10-15 minutes.
@@DimitrasDishes Never did this as a Chinese. Will try. Thank you!
Can I substitute the red peppers for tomatoes?
Sure! That sounds delicious :)
Whats pepper in the jar?
What kind of rice is that
I never marinate meat in aluminium. The acid reacts with the aluminium as it sits. Nice recipe though.
@@dsjoyful14ever aluminum does not "cause" Alzheimers .... not everyone who uses it will get Alzheimer's
Say, "Never will we be struck except by what Allah has decreed for us; He is our protector." And upon Allah let the believers rely.
(9:51)
No disaster strikes upon the earth or among yourselves except that it is in a register before We bring it into being - indeed that, for Allah, is easy
In order that you not despair over what has eluded you and not exult [in pride] over what He has given you. And Allah does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful - (57:22-23)
Allah The All Mighty Knows Best!
FYI. If you soak your chicken breast in whole milk over night, they will come out soft and tender. That’s a 100 yr old hint. ✌️🍗
Sorry to bother you so much but when you say 1 and 1.2 cup rice did you mean 1 and 1/2 cup rice? not sure what the 1.2 means
Yes, one and one half cups. You can also do 2 cups if you'd like :)
Just like Turkish must be the same
We're neighbors and have similar cuisine :)
😅
Chicken came out uncooked red inside
Your rice looks wet and soggy at the end there
Why going talking so fast. Getting anxiety trying to follow you. You have changed you format some. Recipes are good.
TOO much OIL!
You can definitely reduce the amount to suit your taste. Thanks so much for being here ☺️
Too much speaking! Gets annoying!
I disagree, I love your videos!!
