Greek Lemon Chicken and Potato Bake

I love one-pan meals, especially when no measuring and exact ingredients are involved. I made this one Sunday when I didn't want to babysit my food in the kitchen! Turned out great, and I served it with tzatziki sauce.

Yield:
4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 4 chicken leg quarters

  • 1 (24 ounce) bag small potatoes

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • 2 lemons, juiced, divided

  • 2 tablespoons dried basil

  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano

  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons lemon and herb seasoning

  • 1 (12 ounce) package fresh green beans

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet with sides.

  2. Place chicken quarters on prepared baking sheet. Stir potatoes, olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon herb seasoning together in a large bowl to coat potatoes. Arrange potatoes around chicken on baking sheet. Pour about 3/4 of oil mixture over chicken, reserving remaining oil; drizzle remaining lemon juice over chicken and potatoes.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes; shake baking sheet to loosen potatoes, then continue baking for 15 minutes. Place green beans in reserved oil mixture; toss to coat. Remove chicken mixture from oven; pour green bean mixture over chicken and potatoes.

  4. Return pan to the oven; bake until green beans are tender with a bite, chicken is no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Recipe Tips

If you want to brown and crisp the tops of chicken and potatoes, place the pan under a preheated broiler for about 5 minutes. You can substitute Greek seasoning for lemon herb seasoning. And don't forget the tzatziki sauce!

Chef John's Nashville Hot Chicken

Chef John's Nashville Hot Chicken

If you've never had Nashville Hot Chicken, we're talking about mouthwateringly, ultra-crispy, fiery fried chicken with a cayenne-infused glaze, and by 'glaze' I mean melted butter and lard. For the record, I've never been to Nashville, so I can't tell you how authentic this is, but it works for me. Serve chicken pieces on white bread and brush with extra sauce if you like. Serve with pickles.

South African-Inspired Butternut Soup

South African-Inspired Butternut Soup

Was looking for something warming for a dinner with my best friend and Gluwein and came across this recipe. Time did not permit that I cook so my fiance did it two days before, let it cook for a day or so on low, and wow, what a winner. Did not have the Gluwein though, but next time we will and I'm sure it will be the best. Great with olive bread toasted under the oven grill.

Moroccan Harira Soup

Moroccan Harira Soup

Harira is Morocco's most popular soup. It is without a doubt one of the best soups you'll ever enjoy, and I am very happy to show you my take on this dish. Once you taste it you'll understand why the combination of pasta, lentils, and chickpeas is so hearty, so flavorful, and so satisfying. If you prefer a vegetarian harira soup, you can leave out the lamb.
