How to make Greek Chicken
Let’s jump right in to the steps and tips to make this easy, one pan, stove top chicken dinner. The steps are easy and pretty straightforward and will definitely result in a super delicious dish you will be happy to share with everyone. Here are the steps to make one pan Greek Chicken:
- Start with a large skillet over medium high heat and add in one tablespoon of olive oil (or more if desired)
- season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, add the chicken to the pan and brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.
- remove the chicken from the pan and add in additional oil if needed.
- next, add in the red onion, garlic, green peppers, onions and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and half of the oregano.

How to tell if chicken is done
The best way to know if your chicken is done is with an instant read thermometer. The chicken needs to be at 165º F in the thickest part to be fully cooked through. I use a ThermoWorks thermometer to check the temperature, it is quick and easy and a must in my kitchen for checking all kinds of temperatures.
- lastly, once the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are all soft, just before serving top with Kalamata olives, crumbled Feta cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
Serve this chicken over a bed of rice or pasta and be sure to spoon some of the pan juices over the chicken, delicious!!
