Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 pounds chicken, cut into 10 serving pieces
4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into medium-size chunks
4 plum tomatoes, cut into medium-size chunks
1 large onion, cut into medium-size chunks
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees with rack in upper third. Combine the chicken, potatoes, tomatoes, and onion in a large roasting pan. Add the olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper; toss to combine. Arrange the chicken, skin-side up, over the top of the vegetables. Roast until the juices run clear and a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 170 degrees, about 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for fresh, organic chicken, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful oregano.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the chicken will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Add the tomatoes and oregano towards the end of cooking. This will help to preserve their flavor.
  • Serve the chicken over pasta or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken oregano is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give chicken oregano a try.
