Kittencal's Greek Roasted Lemon-Garlic Chicken With Potatoes image

If you are a lover of Greek food then you will love this chicken, this is not by any means for those who have plain palette, this is a full flavored dish! --- this will fit into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan if you reduce the amount of potatoes otherwise you will need to use a slightly larger size pan, for this the chicken is cut in half do not cut into pieces, remember to check the broth in the pan frequently as it tends to cook down adding in more if needed, you may or may not need to add in more --- serve this with a crusty loaf of bread to dip into the pan juices

Steps:

  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons broth into the 4 corners of the pan (do NOT drizzle on top of the chicken or potatoes).
  • Roast uncovered for about 50 minutes.
  • Remove from oven turn the chicken skin side up, drizzle the pan juices on top the chicken and potatoes, if the broth has cooked down then drizzle about 1/3 to 1/2 cup more into the sides of the pan if needed.
  • Continue to cook for another 30-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, you may want to baste with pan juices a few times during cooking (cooking times will vary slightly depending on the size of the chicken).
  • Serve the chicken with pan juices.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 small skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (2 1/2 to 2 3/4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup pitted green olives, lightly smashed
4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 pound new potatoes, halved if large
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

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.
