    Sarah- Hey everyone! I'm back with the brand new different recipe. When we lived in Connecticut, we used to go to an authentic greek restaurant. They had a yummy dish that I always ordered. When we moved to Tennessee, I check if there is an authentic greek restaurant available near by but sadly there was none. So I started searching the web for authentic greek food recipe, but all of them sadly included alcohol. So I came up with my version of Chicken Tigania.

    Chicken Tigania

    a little about Chicken Tigania.

    Chicken Tigania is the most delicious easy greek recipe. We all know how quickly we want dinner after a tried day at work. However, This whips up in less than 20 minutes. I grantee you this recipe will keep you wanting more. The juices from the chicken and the broth will leave you speechless. I can't write more about this recipe, because it uses bare minimal ingredients. Its infused with flavorful herbs.  It's simply delicious. Chicken Tigania is a lemony tangy flavorful recipe which should be included in your weeknight recipes. This will become a staple in your household. This can be paired up with pita or garlic butter orzo.

    Chicken Tigania

    Pork or Chicken?

    Chicken Tigania is usually made in pork, but I don't eat pork so I made it in chicken. The restaurant I went to always made it in chicken too. That's why I used to order it.

    Chicken Tigania

    Chicken Tigania is perfect for any time you want quick easy meal.  I hope you give this recipe a try. Also try our Garlic Knots  ,  Chicken Caprese Pasta , and Spicy Chicken Sandwich .  If you have any questions about our recipes, techniques, or you just want to say hi!

      Was this in Norwalk, CT? This is so good and so close to one of the Norwalk Greek restaurant's chicken tagania (which I dream about). Thank you for making this - it's going to be a regular in our rotation. So forgiving to just leave it on the stove for an hour before reheating and serving with rice and green beans.
