Greek Chicken and Potatoes Recipe image

This easy Greek chicken and potatoes recipe is a family favorite. The secret is in the lemon-garlic sauce, which doubles up as a marinade.

Ingredients

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!

ROASTED GREEK-STYLE CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES

Roasted Greek-style chicken and vegetables image

Chicken breasts, artichoke hearts, grape tomatoes, and zucchini are seasoned with fresh lemon, dried oregano, chopped garlic, and olive oil and then roasted in the oven all at once on one pan. It really doesn't get much more convenient than that, and you can have a hearty dinner on the table ready to go in just 35 minutes. We love the combination of flavors, textures, and colors that this easy recipe provides. Turkey cutlets can also be used instead of chicken breasts if you want to mix things up a bit-just add them to the pan about 5 minutes into the cooking time because they can cook more quickly than the vegetable mixture.

GREEK INSPIRED CHICKEN & VEGETABLE BAKE

Greek Inspired Chicken & Vegetable Bake image

Excellent for using up leftover roast or rotisserie chicken, with enough vegetables that it's great for you and tastes fantastic too. Invented on-the-fly one night after a roast chicken, but I think it would still taste great just made with pre-cooked chicken breast. Suitable for low-carbohydrate diets (Atkins).
