Sabrina’s Greek Chicken and Potatoes Recipe

Simple roasted chicken dishes like this one make the perfect midweek meal. They’re filling, flavorful, family-friendly, and not that time-consuming to make. However, you need to get the chicken thighs prepped in the lemon-garlic sauce a night in advance to marinate. Other than that, it’s the perfect dinner with minimal effort. Round out this easy meal with fresh Salad and Crusty Bread.
