One-Pan Lemony Chicken & Potatoes: Classic Greek Food

Get this recipe with exact measurements on my website:www.dimitrasdishes.com/recipe...
Serves 4-5:
2 and ½ -3 pounds chicken thighs and drumsticks, bone-in, skin on
1 and ½ pound potatoes, peeled and cubed
The Spices:
2 teaspoons salt, or more
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
The Marinade:
1/3 cup olive oil
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
¼ cup water
2-3 garlic cloves, grated
Optional seasonings:
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground Sumac
Garnish: Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 °F, 220 °C.
Combine all of the spices in a small bowl and mix together.
Combine the marinade ingredients in another bowl and whisk together.
Wash and pat dry the chicken.
Place the chicken and potatoes in a baking tray/pan.
Pour the marinade over the chicken and potatoes.
Note: The chicken can be marinated with the marinade and spices for 24 hours before roasting, stored in the refrigerator. The potatoes should not be marinated ahead of time or they will turn brown. If you decide to marinate the chicken, make sure that it comes to room temperature before roasting.
Season the potatoes and chicken with the spices.
Roast for 45 minutes. Increase the temperature to 450 °F and roast until the potatoes are fork tender. About 15-20 minutes more.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve alongside a salad and some toasted bread. Enjoy!

I assign this recipe, a Greek salad, and greek music for my students during our unit on Ancient Greece. They have to prepare the meal for their family and take pics of the process. It is kid friendly to make and a family pleaser to eat. Many parents have told me it is now part of their regular rotation. Thanks Dimitra!

[@tonyxenos1818]

As a Greek- good job!! Best dish to eat

[@joycewilson7048]

@nikoleburet2567 You must be an awesome teacher. I'm 71 yo and I remember teachers who tied lessons to real world activities. We had a pizza party when learning fractions, a luau when we studied Hawaii. I loved school

[@angieniko8844]

Oh my goodness! When you mashed the potatoes, it brought me back to my childhood. My mom always mashed our chicken and potatoes. It was tastier with the blend of the chicken, potatoes and juices from the two. YUM! I love your recipes and will definitely make this for my family.

[@trishbrazel9139]

Hi Dimitra! I am new to your channel but I love Greek food! I'm making the Greek lemon chicken tomorrow. Wish me luck!

[@MrsBee-uo2lc]

Can I just say how much I appreciate the way you write the recipes out!!!! I love that you put all the spices together, the marinade together and so on. It makes it so much easier when you're preparing to be able to find all the spices in one spot rather than looking and reading through the whole recipe. I'm a new subscriber I love your channel and I'm looking forward to trying all of your recipes as I'm trying to cook a more plant-based Mediterranean diet. I know your recipes aren't plant-based but it's a good jumping off point. Thank you for all the time and energy put into these videos I really appreciate it!

[@moushiraabdel-malek4986]

Exquisite Dimitra .. Love Greek food, love Greek people, visited Greece several times .. Know a. LOT about your culture and civilization .. Your warmth as well .. So much similar to us (EGYPTIAN). Your dish(es) are nostalgic to me SAGHAPIMOO ❤️❤️

[@marciamusiak4103]

Yummy as a Greek, I love this dish, grew up eating this kind of food, Good fresh food

[@bbbnnuuuhgg7016]

My mum lives in Greece now so I do recipes like yours to remind me of the good I grew up with. Yummy

[@marycronopulosraz9776]

Dimitra, you are totally authentic as a cook and a young woman! Kalo koritsi!

[@melodymeyers-spears4181]

This recipe has become a family favorite. It’s super easy. In fact, I make an extra pan for my neighbors whenever I make it. They love it, too!

[@ncrranger6327]

That's wholesome

[@graceaxisa4213]

Happy memories of my mum cooking this very same meal. Interestingly, at the time, I took it for granted because it was such a staple dish in our household. How lucky we were! Thank you!

[@kingsfamily8142]

I've made several of Dimitra's dishes........ALL exceptional and delicious! I'm trying this one tonight. Many thumbs up to this sweet sista and her cooking! A++++

[@rubizelmurgatroyd7893]

This looks absolutely wonderful. Lemon, garlic, olive oil...a winning combination on everything!! You seem to have a lot of loyal subscribers (this is my first time on your channel) and I'm gonna take their word for it and try a lot of these dishes! Can't wait to try this one in particular =D

[@matt.rowell]

I just made this dish, following this recipe, and my taste buds are thanking me. I’m looking forward to trying more recipes from this channel. Absolute genius.

[@terripierracos467]

I’ve made this several times and it was always a hit. Everyone has asked for the recipe. It melts in your mouth and has amazing flavour. I love all of your recipes Dimitras! You’re amazing!

[@jeanettejackson444]

Beautiful recipe. Going to make this in my meal prep over the weekend. Your family is very blessed to have all of the love you put into your cooking!!!!

[@carriejane4]

Just found your channel and made this tonight. Everyone raved about it! Thank you!

[@joeoliva4415]

THIS DISH IS SIMPLE TO MAKE AND TASTES DIVINE! My wife, however, only eats breast meat and the first time I tried this, her meat was too dry. So the next time I made it, I followed Dimitra's instructions but then before it hit the oven, I pulled out the breast meat and set it aside for 15 minutes while everything else had a head-start cooking. I then added it back to the dish and the breast meat was perfectly cooked, moist, and delicious!

[@michaelkardules9705]

My first of Dimitra's dishes and it was a hit! Everyone loved it, I doubled the recipe and it was great. Very clear and easy instructions. 2 thumbs up!

[@katm5903]

SOOOO happy to have found you! There is nothing resembling Greek food where I am and anytime someone tries, it fails. I've been trying to make it myself because it's my favorite. I'm making this tonight!

[@pamelad.3345]

I just made this for dinner tonight and it was absolutely delicious!! I made this with 4 lbs of chicken thighs so I used 1/2 cup olive oil with the 1/4 cup lemon juice. I also used more garlic because the more the better in my opinion but I did follow the spices as written (with added Paprika). As some people commented, I was worried about this drying up so I put in half a can of chicken broth before placing in the oven. I cooked it at 400 for 45 mins then turned it up to 450 for 15 mins. I did keep an eye on it in case the chicken burned. I am happy to say no burning and plenty of juice! So delicious, and I will be making again very soon!! You got a new subscriber 🙂

[@kazimmoosaimam6233]

Oh wow that's fantastic chicken lemony and potatoes t Taste awesome as well Mashallah.

[@jgodwin717]

Still using this recipe many years later! Love it!!!

[@deekalirai6191]

I made this it was like being on holiday in my beloved Kefalonia. True taste of Greece.

[@twilajohnson2313]

I know I already made a comment and said thank you for this recipe. But I am here again. This recipe made my Mother’s Day. It was the only thing I was craving, so I made it for myself. Made some homemade tzatziki to go with it. My family loved it and ate it all up. They can 5:31 sometimes be picky. Although the chicken comes out juicy and delicious, I think my favorite part is the lemony potatoes I dipped them in the Taziki sauce and it makes heaven in my mouth.

[@magdeleneng3747]

It was delicious. My husband just loved it.

[@sanjaelieff9363]

This was absolutely delish!!!!! Thanks for the awesome recipe!

[@mellio9077]

Wonderful Dimitra, you are awesome!!! ❤️💕

[@marcbolanish]

Once again Dimitra - perfection on a plate! Can't thank you enough for your demonstrations, they're a cut above the rest, and so authentic! Big fan.

[@lindafeinstein8920]

I JUST made this tonight exactly like you said to do it. It may be the absolute, no it IS the ABSOLUTELY best lemon chicken and potato recipe I've made! I'm sharing it with all of my Pampered Chef friends. The word that comes to mind with the flavor is "deep" and I've never used that word to describe a flavor! Love your channel...I think I discovered you when I was looking for galaktoboureko recipe. I would post a picture if I could!

[@karenbartlett1307]

Looks delicious, can't wait to try it! Thank you!

[@JohnDoe-zz7on]

Never cooked greek in my life. This will probably be my first greek dish. Greek chicken with potatoes here i come.

[@ElsinhaCrew]

[@SamPockerOfficial]

This came up in my feed the other day and I was intrigued so I went out and got the ingredients this morning. 100000%% amazing! Thank you so much for this video!!! Those are some of the best potatoes I've ever made in my life. Going to see what else is on your channel that I might try making.

[@cibylweidmann8228]

I have to do this recipie twice a week!!! Because all my family and friends love them sooo much!! Its absolutly great!! Faboulous!! Amazing and what you all have for words in english!! Greetings from switzerland!! We all love it!!

[@frans.8036]

Made this tonight along with your quinoa salad recipe. I started with the salad, so cool, crisp and tasty. Proceeded with the perfectly cooked potatoes, crispy outside soft inside, made better by the garlicky lemon olive oil juices. I would have been content with just the potatoes and salad but then you add the chicken and the whole family is satisfied. I'm so impressed with your recipes and glad I subscribed. Unlike other channels that only cook one item you demonstrate how to prepare a complete delicious dinner. Your family is very lucky.

[@groovybuddha667]

I moved in with my aunt and her family they’ve been making me delicious dinners every night and they asked me to take over Monday nights and surprise them so I’m gonna make them this and also a Greek salad thank you for the video.

[@kittykrafter]

[@starxlr7863]

This is a dish that I know very well and so easy to make. My father would make this a lot typically for a luncheon and sometimes for coffee hour in the Greek church. Just like you did, using olive oil, garlic, spices, real lemons for lemon juice and that is all you need. Opa!
