GREEK CHICKEN AND POTATOES RECIPE



Greek Chicken and Potatoes Recipe image

This easy Greek chicken and potatoes recipe is a family favorite. The secret is in the lemon-garlic sauce, which doubles up as a marinade. Whether you choose to marinate the chicken for a couple of hours (I usually don't) or cook it right away, the flavors will surprise you in the best way possible.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 lb chicken pieces, bone in and skin on (I used 2 breasts and 3 legs)
Salt
4 gold potatoes (about 2 lb), scrubbed clean, cut into thin wedges
1 medium yellow onion, halved then sliced
1 tsp black pepper
1 lemon, sliced
1 cup chicken broth
6 to 12 pitted quality kalamata olives, optional
Fresh parsley, for garnish
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (I used Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil)
1/4 cup lemon juice
12 fresh garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tbsp dried rosemary (or dried oregano)
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
Greek Salad
Tzatziki Sauce
Pita Bread

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!

SHEET PAN GREEK CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES



Sheet Pan Greek Chicken and Vegetables image

Fresh oregano and lemon add bold flavor to chicken thighs, while a high oven temperature creates extra-crispy skin. If you don't have a heavy-duty sheet pan that can withstand the heat of the stovetop, scrape the pan drippings into a skillet and use it to make the pan sauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano, plus extra sprigs for garnish
2 lemons, zested and halved
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut lengthwise into 1-inch wedges
1 pound large carrots, quartered and cut into 3-inch sticks

Steps:

  • Position 2 oven racks on the highest and lowest settings and place a heavy-duty rimmed half-sheet pan on the bottom rack. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the oregano, the zest of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some black pepper. Place the chicken skin-side up in the center of the heated baking sheet and return to the oven while you prepare the vegetables.
  • In a second bowl, toss the potatoes and carrots with 2 tablespoons of the oil, the lemon halves, the remaining lemon zest the remaining 2 tablespoons oregano,1 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Spread the vegetables and lemons (cut-side up) around the chicken on the sheet pan and roast on the bottom oven rack for 10 minutes. Move the sheet pan to the top rack and roast until the vegetables are tender and the chicken skin is crispy and the meat registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 minutes more. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a serving platter and keep warm. Remove the lemon halves to a cutting board to cool for a minute.
  • Set the sheet pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat and bring the pan juices to a boil. Squeeze in the lemon juice, reduce the heat to a simmer and whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Scrape up the crusty bits from the bottom of the sheet pan with a wooden spoon to incorporate into the sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the juices over the vegetables, garnish with oregano sprigs and serve.

ROASTED GREEK-STYLE CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES



Roasted Greek-style chicken and vegetables image

Chicken breasts, artichoke hearts, grape tomatoes, and zucchini are seasoned with fresh lemon, dried oregano, chopped garlic, and olive oil and then roasted in the oven all at once on one pan. It really doesn't get much more convenient than that, and you can have a hearty dinner on the table ready to go in just 35 minutes. We love the combination of flavors, textures, and colors that this easy recipe provides. Turkey cutlets can also be used instead of chicken breasts if you want to mix things up a bit-just add them to the pan about 5 minutes into the cooking time because they can cook more quickly than the vegetable mixture.
