"If you love Greek food as much as we do then you will love this dish --- you may omit the capers and use your choice of chicken pieces instead of all legs --- omit the chicken and reduce the chicken broth, and you have an outstanding roasted potato dish --- this also works very well using sweet potatoes in place of russets."

  • 1 large onion, sliced

directions

  • Set oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Grease a large roasting pan (large enough to hold the chicken).
  • Rub the chopped garlic into the chicken and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the chicken into the pan along with the potatoes, onions and capers.
  • Pour the broth over.
  • In a small bowl whisk together oil, lemon juice, oregano and rosemary.
  • Pour evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
  • Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes (could take more or less time depending on the size of chicken pieces) basting occasionally with juices.
  • *NOTE* if you find that either one is cooked before the other (either the chicken or potatoes) then remove to a dish and continue to cook.

  1. I tried this recipe on the recommendation from Midwestguy, and all I can say is that it's absolutely wonderful. I followed the suggestion of marinating the chicken in the olive oil, lemon juice, 1/2 cup white wine, oregano, rosemary and salt and pepper. I just used the marinade over the chicken when it was time to put it in the oven. Fantastic! After I took it out of the oven I put a generous handful of feta cheese over it. YUM! Thank you for such a great recipe!

  2. This was really good! I do wish the lemon flavor had been a little stronger but other than that it was great. Next time I may try marinating the chicken ahead of time as another reviewer suggested.

  3. Opa !!!! Opa !!! This is great!!! I love this savory dish and it's easy to make!!! The chicken was a perfect 180 degrees F in this cooking time and the potatoes were soft and cooked through. The dressing and flavors were wonderful, I love the oregano and capers, and I put just a bit of dried rosemary sprigs for the rosemary to be subtle in flavor and it was perfect!! Love the lemony juices that cook down into a wonderful flavoring for the potatoes. Will definitely make this one again and again, thanks so much!!!

  4. I loved it but my family wasn’t quite as excited as I was. They all ate it and I will definitely try again with some of the suggestions mentioned.

  5. I tried this and it is not for me. No one in my family would try it and I ended up ordering pizza for dinner. My husband hates pizza but choose to eat it over this dish. I ended up pulling the chicken off the bones the next day and reusing it in a chicken marsala dish.

  1. This recipe was quite easy to put together, and very tasty1 Differences in how we made it were: 1) instead of baking, we layered it in our large Le Creuset and cooked it on the stovetop, and 2) I had some tan sweet potatoes - the dense not-very-sweet kind - to use up and so used them in place of regular potatoes. The dish came out quite nicely! With the leftovers, I removed the chicken from the bone, added more onion and chunked potatoes, and now we have a nice stew. :) Thanks, Kittencal!
