Description
A quick and easy 30-minute weeknight meal featuring juicy chicken and crispy potatoes roasted on a single sheet pan with a bright Greek lemon-oregano marinade.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 fresh lemons (juice of 1, sliced from the other)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 medium red onion, sliced into wedges
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Add chicken pieces, potato cubes, and red onion wedges to the bowl. Toss until everything is evenly coated in the marinade.
- Arrange the mixture on the prepared sheet pan in a single layer, ensuring pieces are not crowded to allow for proper roasting.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through (around 10 minutes), flip the chicken and stir the potatoes to ensure even browning.
- Check for doneness: chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and potatoes should be fork-tender with crispy edges.
- Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
Cut potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes for even cooking. Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will cause steaming instead of roasting. For a dairy-free version, omit the feta cheese. Sweet potatoes can be substituted but may require slightly longer cooking time.
