Equipment

  • 1 Large Roasting Pan The dimensions of my pan were 16 3/4" x 13 3/4" x 2 1/2" high overall

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thighs bone-in with skin on
  • 3 russet potatoes peeled and cut into large wedges
  • 2 large lemons juiced and the zest of half of 1 lemon
  • 1 large lemon thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic grated
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock vegetable stock works well too
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh oregano chopped (for garnish); you can substitute with parsley if you can't find oregano

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • In a small bowl combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, chicken broth, garlic, rosemary, oregano, salt and black pepper.
  • Add the chicken and potatoes to a large baking dish or roasting pan and pour the lemon olive oil mixture over it. Toss the chicken and potatoes in the pan to coat well. Place the lemon slices on top of the potatoes. Make sure not to place them on top of the chicken because the lemon slices will prevent the tops of the chicken from browning.
  • Roast the chicken for about 45-50 minutes until internal temperature reaches 170°F. The tops of the chicken should have a golden color. During the roasting process, baste the tops of the chicken and potatoes halfway into (about 30 minutes in) the baking time with a big spoon, brush or turkey baster.
  • Once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 170°F, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside to rest. Then turn the broiler to high and broil the potatoes for about 5 minutes until the tops are golden and caramelized. Make sure to broil the potatoes on the middle rack to prevent it from charring too quickly.
  • Transfer the chicken and potatoes to a plate. Pour the sauce over the chicken and potatoes. For garnish, top the dish with freshly chopped oregano. Enjoy!

One-Pan Lemon Chicken & Potatoes 🍋🍋🍋 This classic Greek dish is an easy dinner to make during those busy weeknights and it only requires 15 minutes of prep time! My family loves when I make this for dinner so I hope your family enjoys it too. Recipe link in bio 💛 Also, thank you for being patient while I experiment with my new video setup. My videos look different because I started shooting with my cameras in my kitchen and I’ve been experimenting with lighting and various angles. I used to shoot by a window with an iPhone but unfortunately, that wasn’t sustainable because I get little sunlight during the winter. I think I’m getting close to figuring out my new setup so thanks again for your support and patience🤞🏼✨I started the new year with a new name (formerly thesweetnsalty), new food blog and now new video setup. I’m trying to get more comfortable with the uncomfortable this year and push myself to get out of my comfort zone. I taught myself how to shoot with a camera, edit videos and photos using new software and I also built a website on my own. All within 2 months and while also being a full-time mom to my 4 year old! 👧🏻😅 And I learned that no matter what age, it’s never too late to learn something new. Thank you for being on this journey with me 🌱❤️ #chasingcravings #simplerecipes #lemonchicken #lemonpotatoes
