Greek Chicken Go To Recipe

I have been cooking for a really long time. Like, a really long time. My mother enrolled me in a cooking class before I could read, which was really challenging both for me and the other kids as I could do nothing useful, like measure, and even got my first "burn" on an electric stovetop at age 5 because i was making grilled cheese and was convinced it wasn't hot. I was a very stubborn, read defiant, child and my mother finally just reached a point that I did well learning on my own, even if that meant having a raised spiral on my right hand for the better part of a week. (It's funny, my luck with element heating is really terrible, I was even able to blow a clear hole through an All Clad pan that even the company was impressed with. We switched to gas shortly after but that is another story altogether!)

So from my days of illiteracy and burning my hand as a rite of passage, I moved onto the next stage of my cooking career, Middle School and High School. This time in my life consisted of not wanting to go to school sometimes and my mother obliging because I was a good student and just needed a break sometimes. That combined with an incredible school nurse who could turn a paper cut into a near death sentence over the phone, it was good to have a day off every once in a while.

So, how would I fill my time? Cooking shows of course!

This was the beginning of Food Network's reign and Giada and Ina were there for it! I have to say, I learning a massive amount about cooking from Giada. How to cut onions, how to make pasta dishes, that Global knives are superior, and so much more. This continued into college and making Giada recipes were always easy, quick, and reliable.

Side note: You know what wasn't easy, quick,and reliable? Martha Stewart recipes. I always stayed away from those!

So at some point between middle school and college, Giada came out with a Greek chicken recipe. I made it once, and then i made it again, and again. It was hardly a recipe, just easy proportions to make some lemon chicken. I loved the simplicity of it and since then, have been making my "version" of her Greek Chicken.
