We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Generously season the chicken pieces with garlic powder, salt and pepper and set aside.

  • Step 2: Melt the bacon grease in an oven proof skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken pieces for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, until skin is nicely browned. (Give the pan a shake a few times so the chicken doesn't stick to the pan.)

  • Step 3: Remove the chicken pieces and set aside.

  • Step 4: Place the peppers, onions and dill paste in the skillet and cook while gently stirring for about 1 minute.

  • Step 5: Place the chicken pieces on top of the bell pepper and onion mixture and squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken pieces making sure to collect the pits in your hand. Toss the squeezed lemon with peel into the skillet and place the skillet in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.

  • Step 6: Serve with rice or mashed potatoes.
