Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

8 -10 chicken thighs (skin on, boned and cut in half)
1 pint cherry tomatoes
6 medium potatoes, peeled
6 garlic cloves, sliced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
salt and pepper
1/2 lemon, juice of

Steps:

After you bone your chicken thighs and cut them into smaller pieces (I halved them), season them with salt and pepper and brown them in olive oil. Reserve in the roasting pan.
Boil your potatoes in salted water until cooked and then slightly squish each potato and add to the pan with the chicken.
Prick one end of your tomatoes and drop them in boiling water for about 45 seconds. Remove the tomatoes from the water and place in another pot with ice and cold water. Now gently pinch each tomato and the skins will easily come off. Discard the skins and add the tomatoes into the roasting pan.
Drizzle with oilve oil, add the garlic, lemon juice, oregano and rosemary and some additional salt and pepper.
Give the ingredients a gentle toss and place in a pre-heated 375F oven for 40 minutes.

Tips:

Use a good quality olive oil: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chicken.
Season your chicken well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of herbs and spices. This will help to create a delicious and flavorful dish.
Cook your chicken until it is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let your chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Garnish your chicken with fresh herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.

Conclusion:

Oven-baked Greek chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. This recipe is simple to follow and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and healthy meal that the whole family will enjoy.
