Have I mentioned before how crazy busy my family is during the week. We’ve got homework, dance classes, soccer practices and then the random stuff that just seems to pop up out of nowhere. You too? It’s tough right?! So, where in there exactly are we supposed to eat dinner let alone actually cook it. Due to this hectic schedule, I’ve begun collecting tons of easy chicken recipes and this Greek Chicken is one of my family’s favorites!

Looking for fast dinner options for your family? How about easy chicken recipes? This recipe for Greek Chicken Dump comes together in just minutes with only a few ingredients. My kids love it and I'm happy to have a healthy dinner option that is super easy to make and very budget friendly. Fast and Easy Chicken Recipes - Greek Chicken Dump. SunshineandHurricanes.com

As I said, this is a one of our all time favorite easy chicken recipes. It’s got tons of flavor and my kids of course love that they can pick it up and eat it with their fingers! I love it because it only requires a few simple ingredients, making it both quick and budget friendly to make.

Okay, here’s what you will need:

Easy Chicken Recipes, Greek Dump Chicken. SunshineandHurricanes.com

1 1/2 lbs chicken drumsticks
juice from 1/2 a lemon
2 cloves of garlic finely diced (I use  a Garlic Press– BEST. KITCHEN. TOOL. EVER.)
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt and pepper

Combine all the ingredients except the chicken in a bowl and mix well. Place the chicken in a Ziploc bag and then pour the yogurt mixture in over it. Zip the plastic bag closed fully removing as much air as possible and then gently shake or just manipulate the chicken around so that it is covered fully by the yogurt marinade.

Place the Ziploc in the fridge and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, but it’s fine if you want to do the prep in the morning and then cook the chicken that evening to make it an even faster process for a busy weeknight dinner.

When you’re ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Dump (get it, chicken dump recipe) the chicken into a large baking dish.

Cook the chicken for at least 45 minutes. You want it to have a nice golden brown color when it’s done, so if it hasn’t quite gotten there you can bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. When it’s done, serve with an easy side like broccoli or a nice greek salad.  If I’m in a real hurry, I’ll often just cut up some melon to go with it.

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
