Description
Lemon Garlic Chicken and Potatoes is an easy weeknight feast that is both nutritious and full of flavor!
Ingredients
- 1.5–2 pounds (680–900 grams) Yukon gold potatoes, halved or quartered
- 4–6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup (15 grams) chopped fresh parsley*
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2–3 whole lemons
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 8 ounces (225 grams) feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed pan (I used a half-sheet pan) with parchment paper.
-
Place the halved Yukon gold potatoes in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 7-8 minutes or until just tender. Drain and set aside.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the parsley, minced garlic, juice from 1 lemon, olive oil, garlic powder, oregano and kosher salt.
-
Toss the chicken thighs and parboiled potatoes in the marinade until well coated. Mix until the potatoes soak up all the olive oil and there is no liquid left in the bottom of the bowl.
-
Spread the marinated chicken thighs and potatoes on the prepared pan. Ensure the chicken is skin-side up and everything is in a single layer. Halve the extra lemons and add them to the pan flesh-side down.
-
Roast the chicken and potatoes for 45–55 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, the skin is crispy, and the potatoes are tender.
-
Halfway through roasting, crumble the feta over the potatoes and chicken. I like to nestle a few bigger chunks between the potatoes too. You can flip your potatoes a bit at this point. I generally don’t unless they’re getting too crispy.
-
After roasting, squeeze the juice from the roasted lemon halves over the chicken and potatoes. Enjoy!
Notes
Parsley: I prefer Italian parsley, also called flat leaf parsley, for this recipe.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
