Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ cup fresh lemon juice
½ cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
⅔ cup chicken broth, plus splash to deglaze pan
chopped fresh oregano for garnish

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly oil a large roasting pan.
Place chicken pieces in large bowl. Season with salt, oregano, pepper, rosemary, and cayenne pepper. Add fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic. Place potatoes in bowl with the chicken; stir together until chicken and potatoes are evenly coated with marinade.
Transfer chicken pieces, skin side up, to prepared roasting pan, reserving marinade. Distribute potato pieces among chicken thighs. Drizzle with 2/3 cup chicken broth. Spoon remainder of marinade over chicken and potatoes.
Place in preheated oven. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Toss chicken and potatoes, keeping chicken skin side up; continue baking until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 25 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to serving platter and keep warm.
Set oven to broil or highest heat setting. Toss potatoes once again in pan juices. Place pan under broiler and broil until potatoes are caramelized, about 3 minutes. Transfer potatoes to serving platter with chicken.
Place roasting pan on stove over medium heat. Add a splash of broth and stir up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Strain; spoon juices over chicken and potatoes. Top with chopped oregano.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

⅓ cup olive oil
⅓ cup lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried parsley
1 ½ pounds yellow potatoes
½ cup chicken broth
8-12 bone-in chicken thighs
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

In a bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, garlic, oregano and parsley.
Cut your potatoes into quarters. My potatoes were not small and not large.
Pour the chicken broth into the slow cooker. Place chicken thighs into the slow cooker. Arrange them in a single layer on the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour half of the lemon juice mixture over the chicken.
Layer the potatoes on top of the chicken. Pour the other half of the lemon juice mixture over the potatoes.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until chicken and potatoes are tender and cooked through. Remove the lid.
Remove the potatoes from the pot and place in a serving dish. Use tongs to carefully place chicken on the platter. Pour the juices into a container to use later.
Optional browning step: Use your oven's broiler to brown the chicken skin. Place the chicken on a sheet pan and place under the broiler for a few minutes until the skin crisps up. Watch it closely as it browns fairly fast.
Serve the chicken and potatoes. Drizzle some of the reserved juices over the potatoes and chicken for extra flavor. Garnish with lemon wedges.

Ingredients

2 lbs yellow potatoes, (cut into large chunks (about 2-inches))
1/2 medium yellow onion, (cut into chunks)
5 cloves garlic, (minced)
2 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried rosemary, (crushed)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Place potatoes and onions in an even layer in a 6-quart slow cooker. Pour in chicken broth. Sprinkle with half the garlic, half the oregano, half the basil and half the rosemary then season with salt and pepper.

GREEK LEMON CHICKEN AND POTATO BAKE

Greek Lemon Chicken and Potato Bake image

I love one-pan meals, especially when no measuring and exact ingredients are involved. I made this one Sunday when I didn't want to babysit my food in the kitchen! Turned out great, and I served it with tzatziki sauce.

Ingredients

4 chicken leg quarters
1 (24 ounce) bag small potatoes
½ cup olive oil
2 lemons, juiced, divided
2 tablespoons dried basil
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons lemon and herb seasoning
1 (12 ounce) package fresh green beans

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet with sides.
Place chicken quarters on prepared baking sheet. Stir potatoes, olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon herb seasoning together in a large bowl to coat potatoes. Arrange potatoes around chicken on baking sheet. Pour about 3/4 of oil mixture over chicken, reserving remaining oil; drizzle remaining lemon juice over chicken and potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes; shake baking sheet to loosen potatoes, then continue baking for 15 minutes. Place green beans in reserved oil mixture; toss to coat. Remove chicken mixture from oven; pour green bean mixture over chicken and potatoes.
Return pan to the oven; bake until green beans are tender with a bite, chicken is no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
