Yiayias Garlic Chicken Recipes
YIAYIA'S GARLIC CHICKEN
My YiaYia is a typical Greek grandmother. Her English may not be fabulous but she can say "Eat! Eat!" like an order. Her recipes are lists of ingredients scribbled in Greek that my dad translated for me. I've been making her garlic chicken since I was 12! I make it for company a lot and always pass on the recipe. My only warning is that this dish derives a lot of flavor from the olive oil. I use an imported extra-virgin Greek olive oil made from kalamata olives. Inferior supermarket oils will not taste the same.

YIAYIA'S CHICKEN AND RICE
I grew up with this recipe and because I make it often never realized how simple this would be for others to make. It is a favorite in our house, hope it becomes one in yours. It is a one dish wonder! amounts can vary for taste or serving size. I make extra even though only 3 of us here so I have it for lunch or leftovers. Freezes well.

Steps:
- Place the chicken, salt, onion, carrots, celery, and water into a stock pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the chicken is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Skim away any scum that forms as the chicken simmers.
- Strain and reserve the broth in a clean pot. Pick the meat from the chicken, discarding the bones, skin, and vegetables. Cut the meat into small pieces, and set aside. Bring the broth to a boil over medium heat and stir in the orzo pasta. Let simmer 20 minutes.
- While the orzo is cooking, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks, then whisk in the egg yolks until completely incorporated. Measure out 2 cups of the simmering broth, and combine it with the lemon juice. Slowly pour the lemon mixture into the eggs while whisking continuously until incorporated.
- When the orzo is nearly done, return the chicken meat to the soup, and cook until reheated. Stir in the egg mixture, stirring gently until incorporated into the soup. Serve immediately.
