SHEET-PAN CHICKEN AND POTATOES WITH FETA, LEMON AND DILL
In this simple but elegant sheet-pan dinner, chicken thighs and potatoes roast together at a high temperature, coming out crispy and golden. A generous squeeze of lemon juice, along with a scattering of fresh dill and feta cheese, elevates this dish from weeknight meat and potatoes to dinner-party fare. While the chicken will still be delicious if marinated for just 30 minutes, marinating it for several hours will yield the best results.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons oil with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, the garlic, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the chicken thighs toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 8 hours, covered, in the refrigerator.
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. On a sheet pan, drizzle the diced potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss well and move to one side of the pan. Pat the chicken thighs dry and place them, evenly spaced, on the other side of the pan.
- Roast for 15 minutes, toss the potatoes, then return everything to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through, the skin is golden brown, and the potatoes are tender, 15 to 25 more minutes, depending on the size of the thighs. If the potatoes are not quite tender, remove the chicken thighs to a plate to rest, and return the potatoes to the oven to roast until tender, another 5 to 10 minutes.
- Place the chicken and potatoes on a serving platter, and sprinkle them 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Scatter the feta and dill over the potatoes, sprinkle the whole dish with salt and pepper, and serve hot.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine feta and oregano. Make a pocket in chicken breasts: Holding chicken flat with palm of one hand, make an incision in thicker side of each breast with a paring knife. Carefully pivot the knife to create a deep pocket, keeping the other side of the chicken breast intact. Stuff pockets with feta mixture, dividing evenly; generously season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook until browned on both sides, 6 to 7 minutes per side.
- Cover skillet, and continue cooking until chicken is opaque throughout and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 160 degrees. about 5 minutes more. Remove chicken to a platter, and keep warm.
- To the skillet, add chicken stock, and cook, stirring up brown bits with a wooden spoon until reduced slightly. Add lemon juice and butter. Reduce the heat to low, and swirl pan until butter is melted, and sauce is slightly thickened. Serve chicken drizzled with sauce.

Steps:
- Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and oregano and sauté until shallots are tender, about 5 minutes. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken, skin side down, to skillet and sauté until skin browns, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, turn chicken over. Add tomatoes and broth and bring to boil. Cover skillet.

Mix in cheese and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken breasts: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts work best. Make sure they are of uniform thickness so that they cook evenly.
- Pound the chicken breasts: Pounding the chicken breasts helps to tenderize them and makes them more receptive to the marinade.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade in this recipe is packed with flavor from lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, and thyme. Be sure to let the chicken breasts marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat: Cooking the chicken breasts over medium heat helps to prevent them from drying out.
- Use a good quality feta cheese: The feta cheese in this recipe is a key ingredient, so be sure to use a good quality cheese that has a strong flavor.
- Serve the chicken breasts immediately: These chicken breasts are best served immediately, while they are still hot and juicy.
