That is an easy way to start 2019. Cooking some chicken was never difficult and always gave you a number of options.

You can either make it straight in the oven, grill or use it on a variety of ways like they do in Eastern cuisine.

Mixing up though some Greek ingredients on it like olives can make quite special though. Below is a recipe that hopefully you will find easy to cook and also really tasty as i did.
