Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 300 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 large red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half. Slice the red onion into thick wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the chicken thighs in the marinade until fully coated, then set aside.
In the same bowl, toss the baby potatoes, sliced red onion, and cherry tomatoes in the remaining marinade.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs, vegetables, and potatoes on a large baking tray or casserole dish. Make sure everything is spread out in a single layer for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 75°C or 165°F), and the potatoes are tender.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the chicken and vegetables, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, just until the feta begins to soften.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Enjoy your Lazy Greek Chicken with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
