Directions
Mediterranean style pot-roasted chicken recipe is originally from the same friend who shared Mediterranean Grilled Sea Bass recipe. The Sea Bass dish turned out was very big success, therefore I can’t wait to try his another dish.
You can prepare the chicken the day before, and marinate it overnight in your fridge. If you don’t have all the herbs in the ingredient section, you can skip some of herbs as your wish.
You probably have noticed already, all my recipes are very simple and easy to make. As a white collar working lady, after the whole day work, I don’t have the time and energy to make complicated dishes. Eating healthy and nutritional is very important to me as well. I tried my best to live a very healthy and happy lifestyle.
Life is too short, we have to work hard and play hard. Enjoy every bit of experiences and stories that life has been provided to you! Especially try to spend as much time as you can with your family and loved ones, you won’t regret I promise you.
I am reading “Option B” by Sheryl Sandberg right now, and so many emotions and thoughts are coming into my mind, but anyway, let’s start cooking this dish!

Season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Using a mini food processor, a mortar and pestle, or a knife, mash together the sage, thyme, coriander, oregano, bay leaves, garlic and 1 Tbs. of the olive oil to form a rough paste. Slide your fingers between the chicken’s skin and flesh to loosen the skin on the breast, thigh, and leg areas. Rub the herb paste onto the flesh under the skin so it’s distributed as evenly as possible. |
