Oven-Baked Chicken with Golden Potatoes

Equipment



Ingredients
1 kg boneless chicken thighs
500 g potatoes
50 g butter
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/3 tsp oregano
2 sprigs rosemary
2 tbsp olive oil optional
Instructions
- Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into slightly thicker slices. Place them in a bowl and season with salt, ground black pepper, and your choice of herbs (oregano and rosemary are perfect). For an even richer flavor, you can add a drizzle of olive oil or some carrot slices. Mix everything well, ensuring the potatoes are coated with the seasoning.
- Grease a baking dish (preferably glass or ceramic) with butter, then layer the seasoned potatoes evenly in the dish.
- Rinse the chicken and cut it into manageable pieces. Season the chicken with salt and your choice of herbs (oregano, thyme, rosemary). Arrange the chicken pieces on top of the potatoes in the same baking dish.
- Cover the baking dish with a lid (or aluminum foil) and place it in the oven at a moderate temperature (around 180°C / 350°F). Bake for 30-45 minutes. After this time, remove the lid or foil, and let the dish continue baking until the chicken and potatoes turn golden and crispy. Be sure not to overcook and dry out the chicken and potatoes.
- Serve this comforting dish with pickles (or any side of your choice) and a garlic mayo sauce. The garlic mayo adds an extra creamy and flavorful touch that pairs wonderfully with the savory chicken and potatoes.Enjoy your meal!
