One-Pan Greek Lemon Chicken & Potatoes Delight
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 4 medium potatoes, diced into cubes
- 1 piece lemon (zest and juice)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- to taste salt and pepper
- for garnish fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them with the marinade. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Meanwhile, in another bowl, toss the diced potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme until evenly coated.
- Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet, and scatter the seasoned potatoes around them.
- Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken and potatoes for extra flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C) and the potatoes are tender and golden.
- For a crispy finish, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
