Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This step ensures that your chicken and potatoes cook evenly and develop that golden crispiness.
Prepare The Marinade: Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix everything until it forms a fragrant marinade.
Marinate The Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in the marinade and coat them thoroughly. This will infuse the chicken with the bright and zesty flavors of the Mediterranean. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb all the goodness.
Prepare The Potatoes: While the chicken is marinating, peel and cut the potatoes into wedges. Toss the potato wedges with olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a separate mixing bowl. Make sure the potatoes are well-coated.
Arrange In The Pan: Take your large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan and place the marinated chicken thighs and potato wedges side by side. This is where the one-pan magic happens! You can also drizzle any remaining marinade over the top for extra flavor.
Bake: Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil to allow the chicken and potatoes to brown and crisp up. Continue baking for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and the potatoes are golden and tender.
Garnish And Serve: Once out of the oven, garnish your One Pan Greek Lemon Chicken and Potatoes with freshly chopped parsley and lemon wedges for that perfect finishing touch.
