  • 1 tablespoon Oregano Fresh or dried both work well.

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss halved or quartered potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  2. Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes until they start to soften and take on a golden hue.
  3. Combine chicken thighs in the same bowl with remaining olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix to coat evenly.
  4. Remove the potatoes, nestle chicken thighs among them, and add green beans and olives. Return to oven for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and is golden.
  5. Sprinkle feta over chicken and vegetables, return to oven for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy!

Notes

Use fresh herbs for better flavor. Cut potatoes evenly for uniform cooking. Add green beans in the last 20-25 minutes to avoid mushiness. Check chicken temperature for doneness. Consider using skin-on chicken thighs for added flavor and crispness.
