Greek Chicken and Potato Traybake
The Greek dish known as kotopoulo skorthato typically is called “Greek garlic-lemon chicken” in English, but the ensemble also includes potatoes, making it a delicious complete meal. For our take on the classic, we use our trusty traybake technique—we roast the ingredients on a rimmed baking sheet in a hot oven to ensure the quickest cooking possible and to develop nice caramelization. At the end, we also toss in black olives, dill and capers to ratchet up the flavors. If using chicken breasts, try to purchase pieces that are close in size so they cook at the same rate.

Tip
Don't use extra-large bone-in chicken breasts if you can help it; 12-ounce pieces work best. If unavoidable, keep in mind that bone-in breasts weighing about 1 pound each require 40 to 50 minutes of roasting.

The best
This is the best dish I’ve ever made. The potatoes came out soft and creamy while the chicken was perfectly done. My family gave it a 10/10 rating. The best part is that it takes no fancy skills to make.

So easy so delicious
I buy cheap quarter thighs and cut in half for thighs and drumsticks. Fabulous flavors. A keeper.

wow, great meal
Easy weeknight dinner and delicious. I used chicken thighs and I thought cayenne would adhere better than flakes. It ended right up on the perfect level of heat for me. Cooked it in a cast iron pan
