  • Roast the chicken and vegetables at a high temperature. This will help to caramelize the vegetables and give the chicken a crispy skin.
  • Serve the chicken and vegetables with a flavorful sauce. This could be a simple lemon-herb sauce, a creamy yogurt sauce, or a spicy tomato sauce.

Conclusion:

Greek chicken and potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is flavorful and juicy, the vegetables are tender and roasted, and the sauce is tangy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
