I can't believe that I forgot to rate this! I made it for the first time months ago, and am about to make it again. It is SO good! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and added some cloves of garlic. Like some others suggested, I used a bit more rice, and it came out simply wonderful. Make sure to use a good quality feta cheese, as the flavor will make all the difference. Thanks for a great recipe, katia!! -
This was nice--a little more watery that I would have guessed, but now looking at the photos I see that it pretty much turned out the same as the others! I went the butter route, and it offered a nice creamy flavor to the base. Like others, added a few cloves of garlic, and in the future I think that I'll add just a bit more rice :) Thanks for posting, Katia! -
Very nice! I used 1/2 of a leftover rotisserie chicken and we squeezed fresh lemon over the finished dish. YUM! -
I made this recipe for PAC Spring 2008. I followed the recipe exactly as written, using the olive oil option, and I added a couple of cloves of minced garlic, as suggested by another reviewer. I really enjoyed the feta in this dish and even my son, who doesn't like feta or eggs, ate it all up. I will definitely be making this on a regular basis. Thank you Katia for sharing your authentic Greek recipes. -
I felt as if I stumbled through this recipe, but it is utterly delicious...so 5 stars! As I looked at it, the fact that 500 g = more than a pound didn't compute at all! So I had to halve the recipe at the last minute since I had only 7 ounces of feta. The "issues" were exacerbated by the fact that I made this in parts.... So I cooked the whole (self-dismembered) chicken with the onions...and my preconceptions about boiled chicken led me to assume that I should debone the chicken. (Looking at the recipe later, it occurred to me that the recipe did not say that.) Oh well...mine was made with deboned chicken. All in all, it was worth every uncertainty. It's yummy.
