Kayelle’s Greek Thighs

[Kayelle]

I’ll have to make it with bone in/skin on chicken breasts.

Gotcha MsM, not everyone likes the full fat chicken flavor of thighs. With this recipe they were cooked to 180 internal degrees at 30-40min. IMO, that's perfect for thigh meat, although it would be way overcooked with breasts.

I know that you know your way around a kitchen well, but for others I'd warn not to over cook the dish using breasts, keeping in mind the orzo should be done within 20 minutes or so.
I'll be interested to hear how it turns out with breasts.

I absolutely agree!! Every time I see the title I get the giggles.

Point in fact I had to read the thread to see what it was about! Thought it might be another version of My Big Fat Greek Wedding!

Can't believe it took me so long to remember this but - our first exchange student's last name is Deutschbein, which means German leg. He told us that when he was growing up, kids would tease him by calling him Russian arm and French foot

I made this favorite again tonight, so thought I'd leave the pictures. I love having the leftover Orzo for serving with future dinners, like fish.


Out of the oven, and on the plate...
