Lemon-Herb Roast Chicken with Potatoes


This is an easy one, with simple flavors, but is simply delicious! I served it with a side salad. Chop veggies, put in a baking/roasting dish, and bake, about 90 minutes later, dinner is served! For the wine, pick a dry white wine like a Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio. Pick one that you like drinking, because you can use the rest to eat with the meal!

Ingredients:
2 lbs. chicken thighs or legs
2 lemons, cut into wedges, seeds removed
2 lbs red potatoes, cut into pieces
10 cloves garlic, smashed and cut in half
1 onion, sliced very thinly
1/2 cup olive oil
1 1/2 cup dry white wine (I used a Pinot Grigio)
3 sprigs of rosemary, broken into 1-inch pieces
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp dried thyme

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a roasting dish or 9x13 baking dish, lay chicken flat.


Place potatoes and lemons on top.



 Top with onions and rosemary.


In a small bowl, whisk together oil, salt & pepper, and thyme. Add wine slowly and whisk until well incorporated.



Pour on top of chicken and potatoes.



Stir a little to make sure all pieces of potato are coated with liquid.


Bake in oven for 90 minutes at 400 degrees or until tender and browned. Check every 30 minutes, stir or baste with liquid if necessary. Remove lemons for the last 30 minutes.



The dish is done when a fork goes into the potatoes easily. 


Serve with a glass of the wine!
