Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 pieces lemon
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and slice the potatoes into wedges, about 1/2-inch thick. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In the same bowl, mince the garlic cloves and add them to the potatoes. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the potatoes and garlic, and season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and the juice of 1 lemon. Toss well to coat.
Place the seasoned potato mixture in a large roasting pan, creating an even layer.
Rinse and pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels. Rub them with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season on both sides with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon paprika.
Nestle the chicken thighs into the pan among the potatoes. Squeeze the juice of the second lemon over everything.
Pour 1 cup of chicken broth into the pan around (but not directly over) the chicken and potatoes to help them stay moist and flavorful as they cook.
Cover the pan tightly with foil and roast in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, remove the foil and return the pan to the oven. Continue roasting uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The potatoes should be tender and slightly crispy around the edges.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
