Easy baked Greek chicken and potatoes

Everyone loves a good sheet pan dinner, right? This easy baked Greek chicken with lemony-garlic potatoes is the kind of food you want after a long day and it takes all of 10 minutes to throw together. What’s not to love? You could easily swap the potatoes for sweet potato or other root vegetables or even broccoli, Brussels sprouts or green beans. Just be sure to only add the vegetables after around 20-30 minutes as they won’t need to cook as long as the potatoes.

There is something exceptionally delicious about potatoes cooked in the chicken’s juices, though.  Add garlic, lemon and oregano and you have what my kids called a “seriously good dinner, mom!”

How to make Greek chicken

  1. Season chicken thighs: Season bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs with salt and pepper and place in a large sheet pan. Mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano and rosemary and pour over the chicken thighs.
  2. What to add to Greek chicken: Potatoes, sweet potato, cauliflower and broccoli are all additions to this sheet pan dinner. Cube potatoes then season with salt and pepper. Add to the pan and toss in any of the seasoned oil from the chicken that has collected in the pan.
  3. How long to bake chicken: Bake for 30-45 minutes in a hot oven until the chicken and potatoes are golden brown and cooked through. The chicken will be opaque and white all the way to the bone once cooked and will read 73°C/165ºF on a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon.

Ingredients

  • 8 chicken thighs
  • 4 large potatoes cubed
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2-3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3-4 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp rosemary finely chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC/390ºF. 
  • Place the potatoes in a large bowl then drizzle over 2 tbsp olive oil, a tbsp lemon juice and season with half of the garlic, herbs, salt and pepper. Mix well then place in a large sheet pan. 
  • Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper then mix the remaining olive oil and lemon juice with the garlic and herbs. Place the seasoned chicken in between the potatoes in the sheet pan and pour over the herb mixture. Top the chicken with lemon slices (optional). 
  • Place in the oven and allow to bake for 45-60 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through and the potatoes are crisp and cooked. (I tossed the potatoes half-way through cooking to ensure even browning.)
  • Remove from the oven and serve with Greek salad.

      Oh gosh, I don’t have the precise size but I think in US-terms it’s a half sheet pan?

    Hi – could you substitute chicken breasts off the bone? If so how would you adjust the recipe?

    Many thanks- your blog is fantastic!

      Yes, you could. Cook the potatoes first until almost completely done then add the chicken breast and cook until cooked through. 🙂
