  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2–3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare a large sheet pan.
  2. Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.
  3. Season chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  4. Arrange potatoes on the sheet pan in a single layer.
  5. Place chicken on top or alongside potatoes.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs are recommended for juicier results than breasts.
