For the Chicken:
- 1 ½ lbs. boneless skinless chicken thighs
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ⅓ cup lemon juice about 2 lemons
- 3 Tablespoons fresh dill minced
- 2 Tablespoons lemon zest zest of 1 lemon
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic about 3 cloves
- 2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Generously spray a large rimmed sheet pan with non-stick spray. Set prepared pan aside.
Prepare potatoes - rinse and quarter the potatoes and add to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the potatoes with the olive oil and add in the lemon pepper seasoning. Stir together well to coat the potatoes. Add the potatoes to one side of the sprayed sheet pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
While the potatoes bake, prepare the chicken. To the same mixing bowl, add the chicken thighs, trimming off any excess fat. To the chicken add in the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, fresh dill and lemon pepper seasoning. Stir the ingredients well to coat the chicken completely.
Once the potatoes are done baking for their initial 20 minutes, take the pan out of the oven and add the chicken to the other side of the pan. Return the pan back to the oven and cook the chicken and potatoes for another 20-25 minutes. Chicken will be done when internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. (Test with a digital meat thermometer.) Potatoes will be golden brown.
Top the chicken and potatoes with additional fresh dill and a generous sprinkle of feta cheese, if desired. Serve and enjoy.
Storage: store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Leftovers will keep for up to 5 days refrigerated.
Additional serving options: great served with a tzatziki sauce and or naan bread.
