GREEK LEMON CHICKEN AND POTATO BAKE
I love one-pan meals, especially when no measuring and exact ingredients are involved. I made this one Sunday when I didn't want to babysit my food in the kitchen! Turned out great, and I served it with tzatziki sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook potatoes in simmering salted water until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain.
- Place chicken in a roasting pan, breast side up. Scatter potatoes, garlic, 6 thyme stems, and 1/2 of the lemon slices around chicken. Dot potatoes with 1 tablespoon butter divided into small pieces.
- Stuff chicken cavity with 1 lemon half and 3 thyme stems. Truss chicken. Rub remaining 3 tablespoons butter on skin.
- With your fingers, loosen skin from chicken breasts. Push remaining lemon slices and thyme stems under skin in a single layer. Squeeze juice from remaining lemon half over chicken and potatoes, and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast, turning potatoes 2 or 3 times, until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken thigh registers 165 degrees, about 1 1/2 hours. Let stand for 15 minutes. Garnish with thyme sprigs.
Tips:
- Use a whole chicken for the best flavor. If you don't have a whole chicken, you can use chicken breasts or thighs, but the cooking time may need to be adjusted.
- Rinse the chicken thoroughly before cooking. This will help to remove any bacteria from the surface of the chicken.
- Pat the chicken dry before seasoning it. This will help the seasoning to stick to the chicken.
- Use a combination of seasonings to flavor the chicken. Some good choices include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
- Add vegetables to the roasting pan with the chicken. This will help to create a flavorful and healthy meal.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.
Conclusion:
Lemon roasted chicken with potatoes and green beans is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is roasted in a flavorful marinade of lemon, garlic, and herbs, and the potatoes and green beans are roasted alongside the chicken until they are tender and browned.
