About the dish

Translated as chicken with rice, this simple Greek dish employs two simple ingredients and transforms them into a true comfort dish. It can be prepared stove top, as a one pot dish, but it is also commonly assembled as baked pilaf. Kotopoulo can employ various chicken cuts, vegetables, and different seasoning, but the essential ingredients are grated lemon zest and lemon juice that give the dish its characteristic taste. This Greek classic is a common home cooked meal and is mainly enjoyed as the main course.
