Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon, zested
- 2 lemons, juiced (about ½ cup fresh lemon juice)
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- LOTS of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound fingerling potatoes, halved vertically
- 1 lemon, cut into ¼-inch slices
- 1 yellow onion, cut into large chunks
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- Red pepper flakes, if desired
- Freshly ground salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, sweet paprika, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Add the halved fingerling potatoes, lemon slices, and large chunks of yellow onion to the sheet pan. Pour about 1/3 cup of the prepared marinade over them and toss to coat evenly. Spread the potatoes flesh side down and roast for 25 minutes.
- Add the boneless skinless chicken thighs to the remaining marinade and coat thoroughly.
- After 25 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Flip the potatoes and nestle the chicken thighs between them. Roast for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh parsley, fresh dill, and red pepper flakes if desired. Season with extra salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
