Greek Lemon Chicken And Potatoes Recipes

GREEK CHICKEN AND POTATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pat chicken dry and season generously with salt (lift the skins and apply salt underneath as well). (see optional step in notes)
• Arrange potato wedges and onions in the bottom of a baking dish or pan. Season with salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Add the chicken pieces (see optional step in notes).
• Make the lemon-garlic sauce. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil with lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, and nutmeg. Pour evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
• Arrange lemon slices on top. Pour chicken broth into the pan from one side (do not pour broth over the chicken).
• Bake in heated oven uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until chicken and potatoes are tender. (Chicken's internal temperature should register at 165 degrees F). If you like, place the pan under the broiler briefly to allow the chicken skins to gain more color (watch carefully).
• Remove from heat and add kalamata olives, if you like. Garnish with a little bit of fresh parsley.
• Serve with Greek salad Taztaziki sauce and a side of pita bread, if you like. Enjoy!

GREEK LEMON CHICKEN AND POTATO BAKE

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).

GREEK LEMON CHICKEN AND POTATOES (KOTOPOULO LEMONATO)

Steps:

• To prepare this Greek lemon chicken recipe, divide the chicken into 8 portions and wash thoroughly. Peel the garlic and rub on the chicken. Place on a large baking tray and season well with salt and pepper.
• Cut the potatoes into wedges and place them between the chicken. Pour in some water, enough to cover half the chicken and add the lemon juice, the white wine vinegar, the olive oil, the chopped garlic and the peppercorns. Season with salt and pepper and add a good pinch of oregano. (Tip: sprinkle the potatoes with 1 tsp semolina for crispier results)
• Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven 180C / 350F for 60-75 minutes in total. 50 minutes into the bake remove the aluminum foil and top the chicken with some feta cheese. Bake for another 15-20 minutes (the remaining time), until your Greek lemon chicken is nicely coloured and crispy on the outside.
• This Greek lemon chicken is ideally served with a refreshing Greek feta salad and lots of sourdough bread aside to dig into all the delicious sauce!!

GREEK LEMON CHICKEN WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• (I often add about 1 tsp of crumbled, dried rosemary to the potatoes and 1/2 a teaspoon to the chicken- this is fantastic and it then becomes oregano-rosemary-lemon-garlic chicken).
• Wash the chicken well and pat dry.
• Combine all the remaining ingredients and massage the chicken, inside and out, with this mixture. Put the chicken in a big bowl and put in the fridge while you prepare the potatoes.
• Put the potatoes and all remaining ingredients into a large baking pan. Wash your hands and put them in the pan and toss the potatoes around to coat with other ingredients.
• Put in the oven and crank up the heat to 250°C (480F).
• Start roasting the potatoes and when they're golden-brown, stir them to bring the white sides up and push to the side of the pan to make room in the middle for the chicken.
• If all the water has evaporated, and potatoes have started to stick to pan, add 1/2 cup more.
• Add the chicken, breast-side down, and pour any juices that have accumulated in bowl over.
• Return to very hot oven and roast until chicken is golden-brown.
• Turn over, breast-side up and continue roasting until chicken is nearly as golden-brown on other side.
• At this point, I turn the oven off- don't open it- and leave the chicken in for another 1/2 an hour. I like to think I'm saving energy this way, but it also cooks the chicken beautifully.
• In all, I'd say from when you put the potatoes into the cold oven to when you remove the chicken to carve after sitting in off oven for 1/2 an hour, we're talking 2 hours.
• Serve with pan juices.

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.

Cook until the skin is well browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer skin-side up to a plate. Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon drippings into a small bowl and reserve.
• Add the olives, garlic and oregano to the skillet and cook until the garlic is softened, about 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Return the chicken skin-side up to the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the chicken is no longer pink near the bone, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water; add a few big pinches of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved chicken drippings, the lemon zest, half the dill and a big pinch each of salt and pepper and toss.
• Divide the chicken and potatoes among plates. Stir the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice into the sauce in the skillet; season with salt and pepper, then stir in the remaining dill and spoon over the chicken and potatoes. Top with the feta.
