Greek Lemon Chicken and Potatoes is a classic Mediterranean one-pan dinner made with juicy roasted chicken, crispy potatoes, garlic, oregano, and bright fresh lemon flavor. This easy and comforting family meal is packed with savory herbs and delicious roasted goodness.

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thighs or mixed chicken pieces
  • 4 Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, cut into wedges
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a large baking dish or roasting pan.
  • Arrange the potato wedges in the bottom of the pan.
  • Place the chicken pieces on top of the potatoes.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, olive oil, chicken broth, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Pour the lemon mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
  • Gently toss the potatoes to coat them in the seasoning mixture.
  • Bake uncovered for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked and the potatoes are tender.
  • Occasionally spoon the pan juices over the chicken and potatoes while roasting for extra flavor and moisture.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Bone-in chicken thighs and drumsticks provide the best flavor and remain juicy while roasting.Yukon Gold potatoes create a creamy texture, while russet potatoes become extra crispy.Add red onions, bell peppers, or olives for more Mediterranean flavor.Crumbled feta cheese makes a delicious finishing touch.Avoid overcrowding the pan to help the potatoes crisp properly.
