Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large resealable plastic bag, whisk together the lemon juice, chicken broth, olive oil, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Add the chicken thighs, seal the bag, and shake to ensure the chicken is thoroughly coated in the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor. (Marinating time: 2-24 hours)

02

Step
2 hrs

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a 9x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Transfer the chicken and marinade into the prepared baking dish. Arrange the halved new potatoes around the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly distributed. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through, approximately 1 hour. To ensure doneness, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chicken thigh should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (Bake time: 60 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a subtle kick.
If you don't have new potatoes, Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into similar sizes, can be substituted.
Serve this dish with a side of Greek salad or crusty bread to soak up the delicious pan juices.

    I recommend using fresh oregano if you have it on hand. It adds a more intense flavor.
