LEMON HERB MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN + POTATOES (ONE POT)

Course Main dishes, Poultry
Cuisine Mediterranean
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thigs skin-on, bone-in
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice from 1 lemon
  • 3 tbs olive oil divided
  • 1 tbs red wine vinegar
  • 4 large cloves garlic crushed
  • 3 tsp basil dried
  • 2 tsp oregano dried
  • 2 tsp parsley dried
  • 2 tsp salt plus extra
  • 8 baby potatoes halved
  • 1 red onion cut into wedges
  • 1 red bell pepper capsicum, deseeded and cut into wedges
  • 1 large zucchini sliced
  • 4 tbs kalamata olives
  • lemon slices, to serve

Instructions

  • Pat thighs dry with a paper towel. In a shallow dish, combine the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, vinegar, garlic, basil, oregano, parsley, and salt. Pour out half of the marinade and store it in a jug to use later.
  • Add the chicken to the marinade in the dish and coat evenly. Cover and marinate for 15 minutes if rushed; 1 hour if time allows; or overnight, turning each chicken thigh occasionally in the marinade.
  • Preheat oven to 220°C | 430°F. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-proof pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden browned (about 4 minutes each side). Drain some of the excess fat, leaving about a tablespoon for added flavor.
  • Arrange the vegetables around each chicken thigh. Drizzle the vegetables with the remaining marinade, tossing them through the oil mixture to evenly coat.
  • Cover skillet or dish with a lid (or foil), and bake until the potatoes are soft and the chicken is completely cooked through (about 35 minutes). Change oven setting to grill/broil on a medium heat setting; uncover and cook for about 5-10 minutes, or until chicken and potatoes are crispy and golden browned. Serve with olives and lemon slices.
