Ingredients
- 1 piece boneless, skinless chicken thigh
- 150 grams baby potatoes
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 60 milliliters low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
Thoroughly wash the baby potatoes and slice them in half for even cooking.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 4
Rub half of the marinade onto the chicken thigh, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 5 minutes while you prepare the potatoes.
Step 5
Toss the potatoes with the remaining marinade, making sure they are well coated.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken thigh and sear for 2 minutes on each side until lightly golden.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside momentarily. Add the marinated potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out evenly.
Step 8
Nestle the chicken thigh back into the skillet, placing it on top of the potatoes. Pour the chicken broth around the sides of the skillet to keep the dish moist while roasting.
Step 9
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken thigh reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F) and the potatoes are tender.
Step 10
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Let the dish rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 11
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and enjoy your Simple Greek Lemon Chicken Thighs with Potatoes!
