Instructions
1️⃣ Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Coat chicken well and marinate at least 30 minutes (overnight is best).
2️⃣ Roast the Chicken & Potatoes
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
Toss potatoes with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Arrange chicken and potatoes on a baking tray.
Roast for 40–45 minutes, turning potatoes halfway, until chicken is golden and cooked through.
3️⃣ Prepare the Greek Salad
Combine cucumber, tomatoes, onion, olives, and feta in a bowl.
Whisk dressing ingredients and toss gently with salad.
4️⃣ Assemble the Plate
Serve roasted chicken with herb potatoes on the side.
Add a generous scoop of Greek salad.
Finish with extra lemon wedges if desired.
Tips for Best Flavor
Bone-in chicken stays juicier than boneless.
Roast potatoes on the same tray to absorb chicken juices.
Add fresh parsley or dill before serving for extra freshness.
