Lemon Garlic Chicken – music to my ears. I WISH you could smell THIS! We’re eating so, so much deliciousness up in hurr.

Hey Hey, buddies! Guess where I’m at?! MACEDONIA! I feel so lucky to be here. In the words of Melissa Gorga, Thank You, JESUS!

I wish I could promise you TONS of pictures when I get back, but I’ll be honest with you… I am really bad about documenting my travels. I’m also the worst travel-photographer. I forget to bring my camera with me, or if I do bring it with me, I find myself way too involved in everything around me that I completely forget about snapping a picture. I feel like I’ll miss something so super important while I’m trying to prep for that kodak-moment. Besides, my camera is mostly meant to take pictures of the food I make, so that’s that. #truth #foodbloggerslife

Speaking of. Question for you. Does it matter that I still don’t have a photo-print of our 3 year old? Is that like really bad? I mean, we have thousands of pics in our Dropbox and on 2 external drives, but we have YET to develop – is that still the word used for print-pictures ??? – a single photo of her. AND most of them were taken with a phone!! Oh my gosh. She is going to hate us, isn’t she?

I just had an AHA moment… Note taken! This is definitely a good time to start using my camera for things other than food.

But, since we’re here for the food, this one-pot wonder will make your belly sing because, what makes chicken thighs 500 times better than they already are?! GARLIC!

Here’s what though. Normally, to get all that garlic flavor we all crave, I would have to use at least 10 garlic cloves, but I found a way around that.

Meet my friend, STAR’s Roasted Garlic Oil. This little guy right here adds so much flavor, that it honestly took me by surprise. I used about 4 garlic cloves in this recipe and that was plenty. The Garlic Oil took care of the rest.

I also have to brag about the rest. The sweet peppers, especially. Oh my! SO GOOD! I buy those bags of mini sweet peppers all the time and almost always throw them in a pan for a quick sear. They add an amazing flavor to everything, as well as extra texture. Then again, I’m a little nutty over pan-seared veggies which is why I added a couple more friends, tomatoes and onions.

I originally had a fabulous vegetarian, summery recipe planned for today, but I couldn’t go one more day without sharing this. I couldn’t let you go one more day without knowing about Roasted Garlic Oil with Chicken Thighs. MMM. MMM. SO GOOD!

Please make it today and let me know if you loved it!

I’m off to hang out at the nearest cafe and drink all the Nescafes and Frappes and Macchiatos that I can get my hands on. Coffee-drinking and coffee-conversation-ing is like a sport out here, and that makes me really, really happy!

  1. I was really excited to try this tonight and was disappointed to find it tastes super bitter. After a little googling it looks like the white rind of the lemon can do this. Do you have any suggestions for how to keep the dish from tasting bitter? Did this happen to anyone else? Certainly I can’t be the only one? (I don’t normally cool with lemons so this is new territory for me!)

      I’m sorry that happened, Carolyn! 🙁 I haven’t had an issue with this recipe, but maybe you’re right – the fresh lemon rind was too bitter. It could just be the lemons, you know.
      To offset the bitterness you can add some sugar, but then add some salt to it, too, to offset the sweetness. I hope this will help! Let me know, please.

  2. I did it and it looked exactly like the picture. I did cut the peppers open, didn’t want the stem and seeds It took 2 pans for me had to fry the chicken separately, I was fixing 10 pcs. could not fine garlic oil, so just added more pcs. Had some spinach wilting in refrig so added that on the bottom. Lots of juice so I had baguettes and served with brown/wild rice mix. My friend even took the extra juice home!!
    So this is a keeper.
    GARLIC LEMON CHICKEN.
    Thanks – now on to the next recipe.
    I’m so jealous of your trip – I’m a greek background. Family is from Lesbos.

    One pot wonder indeed, I love this!! Perfect dinner! Hope you are having a wonderful trip! 🙂

  4. Sounds like something my Godfather would have made. This man put garlic in everything! He’d make his own garlic oil. Enjoy being home. It’s the home of Mother Teresa too. Be safe.
