Greek seasonings are not in the ingredient list. The second time I tries this I added my own, Fresh Mint, Oregeno and a touch of rosemary. Much better
We did not like it. No flavor. Dry. We did not like the sauce. My boys and husband did not finish it. Even I who am not picky, did not like it. Very disappointing.
We added this item on to the menu at work and it is a really big hit. The chicken is super moist and everyone loved the recipe. We have had it on a few times now and offer it up as a catering meal as well.

Annaf27-lemon,oregano,olive oil, vinegar-is plenty Greek. You have never been there, and aren't Greek yourself, I assume. Not all Greek cuisine uses those elements, but many do. A good recipe, and yes, I there is room for a little adjustment for personal tastes. That's is part of the delight of cooking. Greek-American, yes. "Absolutely nothing Greek about it"? Not true.
Excellent! I loved the lemon flavor, the chicken was very moist (we cooked it 2.5 hours) . I did add a little salt like a previous reviewer did.
Lemon chicken. That should have been the title for this recipe. It wasn't bad, but there was absolutely nothing Greek about it. We won't be making this recipe again.
This is great! I add Greek Seasoning to mine and serve it with lemon potato wedges. This is one of my family's favorite dishes. Leftovers freeze well.
This was delish! Go heavy on a good nonfat tzatziki sauce. I did add a little salt. We enjoyed the leftovers on a big salad.
