Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 lb chicken pieces, bone in and skin on (I used 2 breasts and 3 legs)
Salt
4 gold potatoes (about 2 lb), scrubbed clean, cut into thin wedges
1 medium yellow onion, halved then sliced
1 tsp black pepper
1 lemon, sliced
1 cup chicken broth
6 to 12 pitted quality kalamata olives, optional
Fresh parsley, for garnish
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (I used Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil)
1/4 cup lemon juice
12 fresh garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tbsp dried rosemary (or dried oregano)
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
Greek Salad
Tzatziki Sauce
Pita Bread

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Pat chicken dry and season generously with salt (lift the skins and apply salt underneath as well). (see optional step in notes)
  • Arrange potato wedges and onions in the bottom of a baking dish or pan. Season with salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Add the chicken pieces (see optional step in notes).
  • Make the lemon-garlic sauce. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil with lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, and nutmeg. Pour evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
  • Arrange lemon slices on top. Pour chicken broth into the pan from one side (do not pour broth over the chicken).
  • Bake in heated oven uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until chicken and potatoes are tender. (Chicken's internal temperature should register at 165 degrees F). If you like, place the pan under the broiler briefly to allow the chicken skins to gain more color (watch carefully).
  • Remove from heat and add kalamata olives, if you like. Garnish with a little bit of fresh parsley.
  • Serve with Greek salad Taztaziki sauce and a side of pita bread, if you like. Enjoy!

GREEK SHEET-PAN CHICKEN



Greek Sheet-Pan Chicken image

I love roasted vegetables and keeping things simple. One bowl and one sheet pan, that's it. You could certainly use boneless chicken and add other veggies to this Greek sheet-pan chicken. Then serve it with cucumber salad. -Sara Martin, Whitefish, Montana

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken pieces: For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks work best. They stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure to give the chicken pieces enough space in the pan so that they can brown evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help to create a flavorful crust on the chicken. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a large nonstick skillet.
  • Don't stir the chicken too much: Once you've added the chicken to the pan, let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes. This will help to create a nice crust.
  • Roast the potatoes and olives separately: Roasting the potatoes and olives separately will help to ensure that they are both cooked evenly. The potatoes need a little more time to cook than the olives.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the chicken is still hot and crispy. You can garnish it with fresh parsley or oregano.

Conclusion:

Greek chicken with olives and potatoes is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and juicy, the potatoes are crispy and golden brown, and the olives add a briny and salty flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
