Greek Lemon Chicken

 

Greek Lemon Chicken

4 boneless (skinless if desired) chicken thighs cut into four
8 tablespoons of EV olive oil
1 shallot peeled and chopped fine
3 minced cloves of garlic
2/3 cup white wine
4 tbs fresh lemon juice
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 tbs dried Greek oregano
1 tbs dried thyme
8 or so fresh thyme sprigs
zest of one lemon
10 mini gold potatoes cut into bite sized pieces
2 lemons cut into 8 wedges
extra salt and pepper

Oil the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Cut each chicken thigh into 4 pieces and place in baking dish skin side up. You can keep skins on if you wish. Preheat oven to 400 F. Place potato pieces around the chicken tucking them in. Do the same with the lemon wedges cut side down. Place olive oil, chopped shallot, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried spices, salt, pepper, and wine in small bowl and whisk till combined. Drizzle this mixture over all the chicken, potatoes, and lemon wedges. Place thyme sprigs over the top. Sprinkled with extra salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes till chicken is cooked through. Half way through the cooking process, the whole house is smelling like lemon. Tantalizing ! Let rest for 10 minutes and serve. I love one dish meals. Enjoy !
