This was nice--a little more watery that I would have guessed, but now looking at the photos I see that it pretty much turned out the same as the others! I went the butter route, and it offered a nice creamy flavor to the base. Like others, added a few cloves of garlic, and in the future I think that I'll add just a bit more rice Thanks for posting, Katia!

Very nice! I used 1/2 of a leftover rotisserie chicken and we squeezed fresh lemon over the finished dish. YUM!

I can't believe that I forgot to rate this! I made it for the first time months ago, and am about to make it again. It is SO good! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and added some cloves of garlic. Like some others suggested, I used a bit more rice, and it came out simply wonderful. Make sure to use a good quality feta cheese, as the flavor will make all the difference. Thanks for a great recipe, katia!!

I made this recipe for PAC Spring 2008. I followed the recipe exactly as written, using the olive oil option, and I added a couple of cloves of minced garlic, as suggested by another reviewer. I really enjoyed the feta in this dish and even my son, who doesn't like feta or eggs, ate it all up. I will definitely be making this on a regular basis. Thank you Katia for sharing your authentic Greek recipes.
