Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 chicken thighs bone-in/skin-on
  • 1 tsp salt divided
  • 1 tsp black pepper divided
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1.9 pounds small waxy potatoes cut into wedges
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 lemon
  • 3 ounces feta crumbled
  • freshly ground black pepper for topping
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley for serving
  • lemon zest for serving

Instructions
 

  • Start with preparing the chicken thighs. Rub ½ teaspoon salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken. Set aside.
  • Cut ½ of the lemon in thin half moon slices, mince the garlic and slice the potatoes into wedges. Chop the parsley.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
  • Heat oil and butter over medium in an ovenproof skillet or pan. Place chicken thighs skin-side down, cook for 10 minutes, move chicken around every couple of minutes to prevent them from sticking to the bottom. Turn, cook for 5 minutes more. Remove thighs from skillet onto a clean plate.
  • Add garlic, cook for 30 seconds. Stir in oregano and the remaining salt and pepper. Add potatoes, cook for 2 minutes. Pour in broth and place chicken thighs on top of the potatoes, skin-side up. Sprinkle with juice from the remaining lemon half and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven. Nestle lemon slice between chicken and potatoes. Crumble the feta cheese on top and season with freshly ground black pepper. Reduce heat to 320°F/160°C, slide everything back into the oven and bake for 20 minutes more or until the chicken thighs are cooked through and tender.
  • When ready, finish off with parsley and lemon zest. Enjoy!
