Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 pound baby potatoes
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
• 1 medium, sliced red onion
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 zested and juiced lemon
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the baby potatoes and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to make sure they are all roughly the same size.

Step 3

In a large, oven-safe baking dish or cast-iron skillet, combine the potatoes, cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, Kalamata olives, and minced garlic.

Step 4

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning blend.

Step 6

Rub the seasoning blend all over the chicken thighs, making sure to get some of the mixture under the skin for maximum flavor.

Step 7

Add the chicken thighs to the baking dish, placing them skin-side up on top of the vegetable mixture.

Step 8

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken and vegetables.

Step 9

Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and roast for 40–45 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden and crispy, the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and the potatoes are tender.

Step 10

Carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
