Make this bright, flavorful Greek Lemon Chicken and Potatoes in one pan for a simple, juicy weeknight dinner inspired by Mediterranean flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1.5 lbs small potatoes, quartered
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon, sliced for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Place the chicken and quartered potatoes in the bowl with the marinade. Toss everything until the chicken and potatoes are fully coated.
  3. Arrange the chicken and potatoes in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Place the lemon slices over the chicken pieces.
  4. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender and slightly browned.
  5. Serve immediately. This recipe is a great alternative to using meal planning services.

Notes

  • For extra crispy potatoes, toss them in a separate small bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil before adding them to the pan.
  • If you prefer using chicken breasts, reduce the cooking time slightly to prevent drying out.
  • This dish pairs well with rice or a simple green salad for a complete Mediterranean diet meals experience.
