Greek Style Roasted Chicken

"This Delicious dish was a real winner. I came up with it by combining 2 chicken recipes that I had. Fancy without a great deal of work! You can reduce the fat content by not using the olive oil and herbs on the outside, then when serving don't eat the skin! Also, it is just as yummy if you omit the ham. Haven't tried it without the feta, but I imagine that would be good as well."

  1. ++++++Sometimes there aren't enough stars! This is a fantastic recipe, easy too. I stuffed the inside of the chicken with the mix, but only put it between the skin and breast on one side (One kid hates stuffing, the other cheese, THEIR loss!) We ate this with Garlic Potatoes recipe #13380 and Green Beans with Feta Cheese recipe #23229 (both 5 star recipes as well).
     
  2. WOW! This stuff is great. The chicken was moist and the stuffing amazing. I never would have thought to mix those items together. My family does not like nuts so I finely chopped the pine nuts (didn't want to loose the flavor). Thank you for a recipe I plan on making again and again.
     
  3. I too used Kalamata olives in place of the ham with great results! This is a keeper all the way for us!
     
  4. I just made this chicken and both my sister and I enjoyed it. I used salt instead of garlic salt and plain olive oil, and it still came out great.
     
  5. This chicken was super yummy! I omitted the ham and added 1/4 cup sliced olives to the stuffing. I am not usually a big fan of stuffing, but this was really tasty! My husband raved about this chicken. I will definitely be making it again. Thanks for the recipe.
