how to make

Greek Chicken Thighs (Easy Skillet Dinner)

MAKE THE MARINADE

In a small food processor, combine the oregano, olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Pulse, scraping the sides periodically, until the mixture forms a paste.

COAT THE CHICKEN

Transfer the mixture to a bowl large enough to fit the chicken. Gently lift the skin on the chicken thighs and place some of the paste between the thigh and skin.

TRANSFER

Then, transfer the chicken and the paste to a large bowl, making sure the chicken is completely coated.

MARINATE

Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator. Let marinade for 2 - 6 hours.

REMOVE

Remove chicken from the bowl, reserving the extra lemon mixture.

PREHEAT

Transfer the chicken to a plate and pat the skins dry. Let rest at room temperature while the oven preheats to 450 degrees F.

BROWN

Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, cover and cook until the skin browns, about 5 minutes.

TURN

Turn the chicken so the skin faces up. Then, add potatoes, onion wedges, and kalamata olives to the skillet.

COMBINE

Combine the reserved lemon mixture and the white wine. Pour over the contents of the skillet.

ADD THE LEMON SLICES

Place the lemon slices throughout the skillet. Transfer the pan, uncovered, to the oven. Reduce heat to 425 degrees F.

ROAST

Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and skin is crisp.

SERVE

Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and skin is crisp.
