Best Greek Lemon Chicken Potatoes Recipes

GREEK LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN THIGHS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Combine lemon juice, chicken broth, olive oil, garlic, and oregano in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, seal bag, and shake so chicken is well coated with marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Pour chicken and marinade into the prepared baking pan. Arrange potatoes around the chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

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.

GREEK ROAST CHICKEN WITH LEMON-DILL POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and lay skin-side down in the skillet. 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.

• 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.
