Mediterranean Chicken and Potato Bowl

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mediterranean Chicken and Potato Bowl.

1. Step 1

   In a spacious mixing bowl, blend the chicken thighs with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, freshly cracked black pepper, rosemary, thyme, oregano, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, zesty lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of olive oil.

2. Step 2

   Toss everything together until the chicken is thoroughly enveloped in the aromatic marinade.

3. Step 3

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 12 hours to infuse maximum flavor.

4. Step 4

   Preheat your oven to a sizzling 475°F (245°C).

5. Step 5

   Line a baking sheet with foil and generously coat it with olive oil to prevent sticking.

   While the oven warms up, prepare the potatoes by halving them lengthwise, slicing each half into three equal pieces, and dicing them into cubes.

7. Step 7

   Set the potatoes aside for later.

8. Step 8

   Once marinated, transfer the chicken thighs to the prepared baking sheet, placing them smooth-side up and ensuring they are evenly spaced.

   Don’t forget to reserve any leftover marinade in the bowl.

    Add the diced potatoes to the bowl with the reserved marinade, splash in a bit more olive oil, and sprinkle a generous pinch of salt.

    Scatter the seasoned potatoes around the chicken on the baking sheet, filling in any gaps.

    Roast everything in the center of the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden.

14. Step 14

    Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and cover it to keep warm; feel free to cut it into bite-sized pieces if you like.

15. Step 15

    While the chicken and potatoes roast, whip up the dressing by whisking together red wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

16. Step 16

    Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking, then stir in some chopped parsley and oregano for a fresh touch.

17. Step 17

    After the initial roasting, toss the potatoes in the delicious chicken fat and pan drippings, then return them to the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until they achieve a crispy, golden-brown perfection.

18. Step 18

    Let them rest for a few moments before gently lifting them out with a spatula.
