Indulge in the tantalizing flavors of Garlic and Oregano Stove Top Chicken, a culinary masterpiece that promises a burst of aromatic herbs and savory spices in every bite. This delectable dish features tender chicken pieces marinated in a symphony of garlic, oregano, paprika, and a hint of cayenne pepper, creating a tantalizing crust that seals in the succulent juices. Pan-seared to perfection, the chicken is then simmered in a rich tomato sauce infused with onions, bell peppers, and a medley of herbs, resulting in a delectable sauce that perfectly complements the tender chicken.
Accompanying this main course are three equally enticing recipes that elevate the dining experience. Garlic Butter Mushrooms, with their earthy flavors and buttery richness, provide a delightful side dish that pairs harmoniously with the chicken. For a refreshing contrast, tangy Lemon Roasted Asparagus offers a vibrant pop of citrusy goodness, while Creamy Mashed Potatoes, a classic comfort food, adds a luscious and velvety texture to the meal.

Steps:
- Whisk together lemon juice, oregano, garlic, 1/2 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl and add oil in a slow stream, whisking.
- Discard excess fat from chicken and season with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
- To cook chicken using a charcoal grill:
- Open vents on bottom of grill and on lid. Light a large chimney starter of charcoal briquettes (80 to 100) and pour them evenly over 1 side of bottom rack (you will have a double or triple layer of briquettes).
- When charcoal turns grayish white (15 to 20 minutes) and you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds, sear chicken legs in 3 batches on lightly oiled grill rack over coals, uncovered, turning once, until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes total, then transfer as cooked to a tray.
- Put all browned legs on side of grill with no coals underneath and cook, covered with lid, turning occasionally, until just cooked through (flesh will no longer be pink when cut near joint), 15 to 25 minutes more. Transfer legs to bowl with lemon dressing and turn to coat, then transfer to a serving platter and keep warm, loosely covered with foil, while cooking breasts.
- Add 15 briquettes evenly to coals and wait until they just light, about 5 minutes. (They will not be grayish white yet but will give off enough heat with other briquettes to maintain correct cooking temperature.)
- Sear chicken breasts, starting with skin sides down, in 2 batches on rack over coals, uncovered, turning once, until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes total, then transfer as cooked to tray.
- Put all browned chicken breasts on side of grill with no coals underneath and cook, covered with lid, turning occasionally, until just cooked through (the meat next to the tender, when opened slightly, will be moist but no longer pink), 12 to 15 minutes more. Transfer breasts to bowl with lemon dressing and turn to coat, then transfer to platter with legs.
- Grill lemon slices on rack over coals, uncovered, until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes on each side, and transfer to platter with chicken.
- To cook chicken using a gas grill:
- Preheat all burners on high, then adjust heat to moderately high. Turn off 1 burner and arrange chicken legs on lightly oiled rack above it. Cook, covered with lid, turning legs once, until cooked through, about 40 minutes total. Transfer legs to bowl with lemon dressing and turn to coat, then transfer to a serving platter and keep warm, loosely covered with foil, while cooking breasts.
- Cook chicken breasts on rack above unlit burner, covered with lid, turning once, until just cooked through (the meat next to the tender, when opened slightly, will be moist but no longer pink), about 30 minutes total. Transfer breasts to bowl with lemon dressing and turn to coat, then transfer to platter with legs.
- Grill lemon slices on rack over flames, uncovered, until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes on each side, and transfer to platter with chicken.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh garlic and oregano will give your chicken the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Use a nonstick skillet: A nonstick skillet will help prevent the chicken from sticking. If you don't have a nonstick skillet, you can use a regular skillet but be sure to grease it well.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Medium heat will help prevent the chicken from burning. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will cook too quickly and be dry.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken: The chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
This garlic and oregano stove-top chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with garlic, oregano, and olive oil. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
