Savoury Chicken
"One of those dishes that reaps in way more compliments in relation to the effort (what effort?) that went into making it. So good with a mixed greens salad and a rice pilaf. This is also really good on the grill - baste with the marinade a couple of times. Then I like it with cole slaw and corn on the cob."

A very good old-standby at our house. I have never reduced the gravy though - just use as is served over rice. Also, we add a can of mushrooms. -
Very tasty chicken!! The only thing different is that I used white wine and marinated overnight, but the results were quite tasty. I cooked it on the grill and served it with white rice and swiss chard fresh from the garden and it was a great combination. The sauce was also great on the rice! Thanks Evelyn! -
How can one go wrong with red wine, soy saud and ginger? Minimum effort for max result. Thank you, Evelyn -
Delicious. A wonderful change of pace. The red wine made for a very tasty sauce. I marinated it for 24 hours before cooking. Very flavorful -
It is simple and easy. Love that. However, I thought it was a little bland. The chicken was moist and tender. Thank you.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
