Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. Pat chicken dry and season with salt.

3. Spread potato wedges and sliced onions in the bottom of a baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Place chicken pieces on top.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, and nutmeg. Pour evenly over the chicken and potatoes.

5. Layer lemon slices on top of the mixture. Pour chicken broth into the pan along the side (not directly over the chicken).

6. Bake uncovered for 45 to 60 minutes, or until both chicken and potatoes are tender.

7. If potatoes need more time, increase the oven to 425°F and cook for 15 to 20 minutes more. Remove any fully cooked chicken to prevent drying.

8. For a golden finish, briefly broil the chicken until the top is nicely browned. Watch closely to avoid burning.

9. Remove from oven and top with olives if using. Garnish with fresh parsley.

10. Serve warm with your choice of Greek salad, tzatziki sauce, or flatbread.

Notes

For extra crispy potatoes, cut them thin and finish under the broiler. Thighs offer more flavor, but chicken breasts work well too. Make ahead and store in airtight containers for up to 4 days in the fridge.
