CRISPY GREEK CHICKEN CASSEROLE WITH CREAMY LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• To prepare this Greek chicken casserole recipe, divide the chicken into 8 portions (leave the skin on), rinse and pat dry using a paper towel. Heat a large pan on medium high heat; add the olive oil and the chicken and sauté for 2-3 minutes on each side, until slightly coloured.
• Into a small bowl add a glass of hot water, the mustard and the lemon juice and mix.
• Pour into the pan along with the rest of the ingredients, put the lid on and turn the heat up. As soon as it comes to a boil turn the heat down and simmer for 50-60 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
• Traditionally Greek chicken casserole is cooked without colouring, and looks more like boiled chicken. Personally I prefer it crispy. if you do too, after cooking the chicken, transfer into a hot pan and fry each side, just a little bit for that crispy skin flavour.
• Serve with some basmati rice or potatoes. If you choose to serve with rice, lift up the flavor by adding 2-3 tbsps of the chicken juices into the boiling rice.
