    This is a Greek herb chicken recipe that is juicy, full of flavor and Mediterranean vibes.

    A white platter with fresh herbs, roasted Greek herb chicken thighs, a small bowl with tzatziki dip, cherry tomatoes, lots of cucumber slices, feta cheese cubes and cut up pita.

    I get homesick often. To be more specific, I crave the homemade Greek food aromas found all over Greece. Greeks are big on food.  They celebrate, love, and grieve by cooking and eating. Wherever you go in Greece food will without a doubt accompany your activities. Food is indeed everywhere. So whenever I long for home I cook with all the lovely fresh ingredients I know to soothe myself.

    This is where this Greek herb chicken recipe comes in. The marinade has fresh herbs like sage, rosemary, and thyme, LOTS of garlic and lemon juice as well as plenty of lovely Greek extra virgin olive oil.

    I love serving it on a platter with cut-up Greek pita bread, juicy tomatoes, tzatziki sauce, and cool cucumber slices.

    More chicken please!

A delicious and traditional Greek roasted chicken with lemon & rosemary is perfect for a Sunday roast. And my very Greek chicken soup is great for healing and comfort.
