Greek Lemon Chicken and Potatoes is a comforting one-pan meal featuring juicy roasted chicken and golden potatoes infused with bright lemon, garlic, and aromatic herbs.

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Add chicken and potato wedges to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Transfer to a large baking dish or sheet pan, arranging chicken skin-side up and spreading potatoes evenly around.
  5. Pour chicken broth into the pan around the chicken and potatoes.
  6. Roast for 45–55 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and potatoes are tender and golden.
  7. Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra crispy skin, watching carefully.
  8. Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes evenly to ensure proper roasting.
  • Broiling at the end enhances crispiness.
  • Marinate chicken up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
  • Use an oven-safe skillet or cast iron pan if preferred.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Ensure chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature.
