Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 small skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (2 1/2 to 2 3/4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup pitted green olives, lightly smashed
4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 pound new potatoes, halved if large
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and lay skin-side down in the skillet. Cook until the skin is well browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer skin-side up to a plate. Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon drippings into a small bowl and reserve.
  • Add the olives, garlic and oregano to the skillet and cook until the garlic is softened, about 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Return the chicken skin-side up to the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the chicken is no longer pink near the bone, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water; add a few big pinches of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved chicken drippings, the lemon zest, half the dill and a big pinch each of salt and pepper and toss.
  • Divide the chicken and potatoes among plates. Stir the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice into the sauce in the skillet; season with salt and pepper, then stir in the remaining dill and spoon over the chicken and potatoes. Top with the feta.

I'm not a big fan of dill, so I substituted parsley instead. The chicken and potatoes were still delicious.

This Greek roast chicken with lemon-dill potatoes was a hit! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The lemon-dill sauce added a bright and tangy flavor to the dish.
