This recipe was excellent. I used 1-1\/2 lbs of chicken, 1 tsp pepper, 1\/2 tsp each of garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and paprika. I crushed 2 large gloves of fresh garlic and added it and 4 oz of sliced fresh mushrooms with 2 minutes left while cooking the chicken. Used the other ingredients as listed in the recipe. I cooked parboiled rice. Put the chicken on top of some rice in a bowl, then added my favorite Mediterranean hot sauce and mixed to combine - excellent meal!!!<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-11-26","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Nicki"},"reviewBody":"I changed the recipe up a bit after reading the reviews and marinated the chicken in olive oil, lemon and greek spice.
