Food Wishes . If I were with you while you were making the Greek chicken meal; I would gladly hold the camera while you used your two hands to mix the herbs into the chicken!
This guy helped me out so much when cooking for my girl cause I never learned how to but I feel like a chef every time I cook now. Your videos are highly appreciated
I congratulate YOU, for having the hands-on, just -try-it attitude. Too many people are intimidated by cooking or have a lot of preconceived attitudes about it being hard or expensive, or time consuming....
And as you must know by now, 6 years later, that once you cook something and it works, you gain confidence to try something else that looks delicious and doable, so your skills increase.
I just made this for the first time, and I have to say, I have NO IDEA how the chicken is so flavorful. It turned out so good, I am absolutely blown away. I cooked it immediately just like the video, and I’ve never had chicken taste so rich and delicious without marinating overnight. Huge props on the recipe, it is definitely going into my regular rotation. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Tried this recipe today, I have never cooked more than boiled egg or beans on toast as my wife has always cooked everything and is really good. This is brilliant, easy, aromatic, filling and tastes fantastic. I’ll definitely be trying other recipes. My Wife loved it. Thank you
Good to know!!! :) What's a good side vegetable would you recommend? For some reason, I'm thinking a side dish of spinach will compliment it nicely. I do love my greens! :)
I had eight pieces of chicken thighs and potatoes in the refrigerator and had not a clue of what cook for my husband, looked in Chef John's channel and came across this recipe. I followed the instructions and voila! The chicken and potatoes were so delicious that my husband ate six pieces 😁😁 Thank you Chef John!! This is going into our family recipe book.
Me too! Been making it since he first posted this video. Below is a comment that I just added today. ... Be well! - This is one of my go-to recipes. Although my wife is not a big fan of potatoes. ...So, I go to the Asian grocery and buy two big carrots and peel them down to the size of a potato. So my version is half potato and half carrot. Turns out fantastic every time.
I have been eating this for the last two weeks! And today I made this for a dinner party and paired it with one of your rice pilafs... I rarely repeat a recipe 3 times back to back! This was the first thing to finish. Everyone wanted more and wanted the recipe too. I was hesitant to give it at first, but then decided it was wrong to not share this deliciousness ❤️❤️❤️ I’ll make it again tomorrow 🙈 #Obsessed
I used this recipe for a school project once and it was very well-received. I also made it for my family and my father asked me to keep this recipe around while my brother requested that I "stop making everything else and only make this." He's even tried to replicate it a couple of times himself. This recipe is delicious, easy to prepare, and a good crowd-pleaser; I highly recommend it.
I made chicken legs and thighs last night using Chef John's recipe. I let it marinade in the refrigerator for hours, then cooked according to the chef's instructions, using Russet potatoes. It came out fabulous. I will be making chicken this way many , many more times. I had a lot of extra sauce, which I thickened with cornstarch and saved to use with other recipes. Thank you Chef John.
This was delicious! I also served it with rice pilaf and a Greek salad. The chicken really benefited from having Tzatziki sauce for dipping, as Chef John suggested... I’m making it again now, so good!
I searched for Lemon chicken recipes since I have a lemon tree full of lemons in my backyard. So, I cooked this yesterday!!!! it is GREAT!!! My husband wants me to cook it again this weekend lol. I included carrots with the potatoes
This video has ruined me. I am so in love with this dish that I probably make it way too often. My family hasn't complained yet so I'm making it again tonight. 😉
Hi @@IrmaU94. I actually use 2/3 cup of stock to ensure that the bottom of the pan is covered and doesn't burn. I am a little uneasy with only 1/2 cup. A lot will depend on the size of the pan that you use. I eyeball the amount of olive oil I use to ensure that the chicken and potatoes get a good coating initially. Once you transfer the chicken and potatoes to your pan, there will be enough marinade left to use to cover everything prior to baking. That's what I do anyways!?
Greek cuisine is one of the tastiest in the world and so underrated!!! Love this recipe even though in Greece we don't cook it that way exactly.. It looks delicious!!
Made it today. Customized it a little bit: no rosemary, added fresh Lemon Thyme and not just the lemon juice but also the Lemon Zest (as someone has mentioned already, just lemon juice is not enough if you want "lemony" dishes). THE RESULT WAS AMAZING!! This recipe is a keeper. In my case it took not 45 minutes but 1hr 10 minutes for the chicken to be tender, I then broiled the chicken to a nice browning (couple of minutes). The dark meat was tender but the breast was overcooked (no surprise here, no wonder Chef John says to "ideally use dark meat" or something to that effect). After the chicken was done, the yukon gold potatoes I used were not quite done, I took them out and nuked them in the microwave until tender. Like many others, I found that the amount of liquid ingredients was too much, 20 minute into to the cooking I removed about half of the liquid and reserved it (will use it with left overs). Next time I will probably tent the roasting pan with aluminum foil and cook the chicken+potatoes for 1hr at 350F, then remove the Alu-foil and increase the temp to 425F, once the breast is at 157F take it out, once the Dark meat is at 162F, add the breast to the pan and broil the whole thing to a good browning color. If after all the above the potatoes are not tender, will nuke them. The star of this recipe for me is the sauce, which can be thickened to your liking, before you do that, taste it, because sometimes thickening sauces may produce too intense flavour that could make it taste salty. If the taste is right, next time cut some salt. You could thicken it with starches, but I wouldn't do it, I want sauce not gravy for this AMAZING dish. Thx you Chef John.
Great recipe Chef John! This recipe will always have a special place in my heart because it was one of the first meals my Greek husband made for me when we were dating and he still makes it for us all the time because it's one of my favourites. I don't think I'll ever get fed up with this recipe. We always have Tzatziki sauce with it and it's just so delicious. Greek cuisine has the most incredible flavours 🍋🍋🍋
Made this tonight with a few modifications and it was a hit. My husband asked if there was any more left for lunch tomorrow. Adding this to my recipe list. Thank you
Making this the third time in a month. It's rediculeously delicious. Can't thank you enough for the recepie and the beautiful narration. I am a fan of both now.
It is a delicious recipe! I made it a couple of times. I add more potatoes because they're soooo tasty, of course I use a larger pan to accomodate the extra potatoes. Thank you Chef John for sharing this delectable recipe. Because I have a couple of adults living with me, I use a baster instead of turning them over every 20 minutes. It works for me. I don't know about others.
I cooked this delicious Greek Chicken & Potatoes a week ago, and it was so good. Here I am cooking 🥘 again 😋I’ll enjoy the weekend having this spectacular recipe. Thank you 😊 so much!
Made this for my new girlfriend last night Chef John, it was transcendent! But now I'm kind of worried... she thinks I'm an amazing chef, how am I going to keep that up!?!
Being Greek i find this recipe an interesting twist to the traditional lemon chicken. Try it with a little bit of mustard and some feta cheese on the side next time chef. Get a taste of how village folk eat this food here in Greece. :)
@@Madame686 Live kitchen channel or Akis petretzikis(maybe the most famous greek cook right now). Both are good. Additionally you can check out Panos Ioannidis and Yiannis lucacos
Made this the other day and it was delicious! I think it would have been better with leg and thighs as mentioned, but it was still good with the whole chicken. The potatoes were really the best part. The seasoning and the texture ended up being just great. This is probably one of my favorite ways to eat potatoes now. Can't wait to try this again!
Chef John, I made this in the magic air fryerr last night on the bake setting , Oh my gosh , it's stunning , so delish for the English winter months !!!
I just tried this and it is one of the most delicious meals I have made in a very long time. The chicken was moist and flavorful through and through and the potatoes were to DIE for! They disappeared almost instantly. I can’t recommend this highly enough.
You can never have too many potatoes in this sort of dish. Next day for leftovers, if there’s 3 potatoes left and 1 piece of chicken it’s better than no potatoes and 4 pieces of chicken.
That looks great! My Family is from Germany, but I love cooking Mediterranean Style. I had 2 Greek Uncles. My Tante used to make many delicious Greek dishes for my Uncle and the Family. This is a must try Recipe, thank you 😊⭐👍
Thank you so much, Chef John. I made this tonight, and it was phenomenal! It was a total success with the whole family. Thank you for sharing your talents with us :)
I made this dish tonight for my wife and I. Wow! I followed your recipe and it was amazing! I have already shared the video with my family and told them to try it. Great job, Chef!
+Emily Henford Hi, good question. My ex is from Vietnam hence the Nguyen surname lol. Apparently it's a very common Vietnamese surname, kinda like Smith or Brown in England. Have a great day. 😄😄😄😄
It is so nice to hear the Greek appreciate the recipe...I always find the Indian food ,if tried by someone else even within different regions of India is not the same.
A few tips about how almost every family in Greece do this recipe: Just mix all the ingredients straight to the pan Then go straight to the oven Cut the potatoes in smaller pieces Dont use rosemary and cayenne And we just use some foil on top and when the potatoes are almost done just remove the foil. The flipping process adds a lot of flavor. Chicken and potatoes is supposed to be a quick and easy recipe so the last steps are unnecessary BUT I see this recipe as a fancy one for chicken and potatoes and it s not bad at all. Choose whatever you like, the quick one or this one.. it s all about time :)
I like your recipes even more bc they can be done bit by bit and while sitting down. I can't stand very long and your recipes tend to be just right. Thank you.
Oops, made this on Thanksgiving after several ppl called and wanted to hide out at my place. The yogurt is the finishing touch. It's tart and creamy and ties everything together. I used Greek. Everyone [4 ppl] ate this and wanted more. It's so easy to make and soooo good. Thank you, Chef.
When you cook rice you usually use 1 part rice to 2 part liquid so if you use the drippings/juice from making this dish in place of some of that liquid you end up getting all that flavor in your rice. P.S. Let the dripping cool so the grease settles and you can spoon some (but not all ) of that grease off. Try this and let me know what you think.
Suggestions to fellow cookers : ( stuffing chicken and potatoes in a small pan and also not drying your chicken well after cleaning your chicken may result in “swimming chicken and potatoes” ) I used a big pan like Chef John chicken needs to have room ( don’t stuff chicken and potatoes in a small pan , you may need to adjust the chicken broth or water if you use an even bigger pan ), dry your chicken well with paper towels before following recipe it’s makes a huge difference and if you want more browning add some paprika, and lastly if you don’t Have oregano; thyme is a great substitute .
Wish I had seen your comment before making this 😔. I stuffed everything into a small pan and ended up with soggy chicken, uncooked potatoes, and a bunch of soup-ish material. I'll eat it because wasting food is bad but really it should just be thrown away ugh
@@wtjax The chicken I would just make chicken salad with it at this point . And as for the veggies drain them dry them just toss them In some extra virgin cooking oil the kind that says for roasting or baking , seasoning of choice Ornsalt /pepper / garlic powder /a dash of paprika and just roast the vegetables , then toss with fresh parsley when done. Voila meal saved!
This was how my dad marinated his shish kabob fixins. That oil, lemon, and garlic and herb just filled the whole house with goodness as he marinated it overnight.
I followed this recipe to the tee yesterday and it was AMAZING. As a side I roasted cubed butternut squash in the oven with the chicken - very easy to do since you can buy squash pre cubed. This will become one of our favorite rotations.
Just made it. Outstanding! Turned out perfect. I’m not a measurer so I eyeballed from the video. It was perfect. I will send a photo when I figure out where
Chef John representing!!! Greetings from Greece my friend! Tzatziki is ok for this heavenly dish, but I would recommend a fairly pepperie Feta cheese or even fresh mizithra or anthoteero (greek buttery AMAZEBALLS cheese that is either without salt or with) which is more subtle and soft at taste. And you should try dry mizithra on your pasta dishes instead of parmezan. Parmezan is certainly good but dry mizithra will taste and feel like velvet in your mouth. And try replacing riccota with fresh mizithra or anthoteero for the cheesy filling in your lasagna.... If only we had the marketing tactics and when it comes down to it, really cared about it to pursuit, like the French and the Italians do....
I'm doing this while in quarantine because everything it's easy to find (kind of) here. I can honestly say this is the juiciest most flavorful chicken I've ever had. Even the roasted chicken (homage to Julia) does not come close to this (sorry :( ) Thank you chef! You have given me yet another fool proof, delicious recipe to keep at hand even when things look not so bright but eventually they will :). Thanks!!!
Made this today as a meal to end my Ramadan fast. It was so good, couldn’t help but think of the Palestinian people fasting without food or water, breaking their fast with grass and lemon juice.
This recipe is DELICOUS! Making it again today. I add wedges of onions and in addtion to to the minced garlic, I add halved cloves which carmelize and sweeten. OMG. You are correct, the chicken is just an excuse to get to the potatoes!!! Thank you, Chef John for all of your awesome content.
Just made this. Best dish ever. Used boneless skinless thighs so we missed out on the crunchy skin but marinated over night and so incredibly flavorful... both potatoes and chicken. Thank you!!!
I made this for dinner a couple of days ago and it was absolutely delicious. Will certainly be on the menu a lot more. I have to agree that the potatoes were the stars. Wonderful!

I'm Greek and I've made this food many times but your version is the best I've had so far. Amazing!
It has the Greek seal of approval. Now I can say I did make a Greek dish when I made this recipe

And we just use some foil on top and when the potatoes are almost done just remove the foil.
The flipping process adds a lot of flavor.
Chicken and potatoes is supposed to be a quick and easy recipe so the last steps are unnecessary
BUT I see this recipe as a fancy one for chicken and potatoes and it s not bad at all. Choose whatever you like, the quick one or this one.. it s all about time :)
I like your recipes even more bc they can be done bit by bit and while sitting down. I can't stand very long and your recipes tend to be just right. Thank you.
Oops, made this on Thanksgiving after several ppl called and wanted to hide out at my place. The yogurt is the finishing touch. It's tart and creamy and ties everything together. I used Greek. Everyone [4 ppl] ate this and wanted more. It's so easy to make and soooo good. Thank you, Chef.
This recipe looks magnificent. I'm heading to the market for fresh lemons and a whole chicken, and heading to your blog for the recipe. Thanks.
you are my favorite Chef in the whole wide world thank you for making me a better cook
Chef John, if you save the juice from the pan dripping they are awesome as a base to make rice. P.S. This work best if you marinade over night.
Using this as a base for rice sounds OUTRAGEOUSLY good!!! Thanks for the idea!
Your welcome.
When you cook rice you usually use 1 part rice to 2 part liquid so if you use the drippings/juice from making this dish in place of some of that liquid you end up getting all that flavor in your rice.
P.S. Let the dripping cool so the grease settles and you can spoon some (but not all ) of that grease off.
Try this and let me know what you think.
John Or, mix with cooked orzo pasta & a little tomato paste...thin with a little water or chicken broth...perhaps a splash of retsina.
I love this recipe so much that I will make it every week.
Chef John, you are the patron saint of all us doe-eyes new cooks.
" you are the plato of your plate bro'" hahaha ! This recipe looks incredibly easy to make and delicious!
Suggestions to fellow cookers :
( stuffing chicken and potatoes in a small pan and also not drying your chicken well after cleaning your chicken may result in “swimming chicken and potatoes” )
I used a big pan like Chef John chicken needs to have room ( don’t stuff chicken and potatoes in a small pan , you may need to adjust the chicken broth or water if you use an even bigger pan ), dry your chicken well with paper towels before following recipe it’s makes a huge difference and if you want more browning add some paprika, and lastly if you don’t Have oregano; thyme is a great substitute .
Thank you:)

You’re welcome !
Wish I had seen your comment before making this 😔. I stuffed everything into a small pan and ended up with soggy chicken, uncooked potatoes, and a bunch of soup-ish material. I'll eat it because wasting food is bad but really it should just be thrown away ugh
@@wtjax The chicken I would just make chicken salad with it at this point . And as for the veggies drain them dry them just toss them In some extra virgin cooking oil the kind that says for roasting or baking , seasoning of choice Ornsalt /pepper / garlic powder /a dash of paprika and just roast the vegetables , then toss with fresh parsley when done. Voila meal saved!
@@Music963 👍👍 thank you!
This was how my dad marinated his shish kabob fixins. That oil, lemon, and garlic and herb just filled the whole house with goodness as he marinated it overnight.
I followed this recipe to the tee yesterday and it was AMAZING. As a side I roasted cubed butternut squash in the oven with the chicken - very easy to do since you can buy squash pre cubed. This will become one of our favorite rotations.
Just made it. Outstanding! Turned out perfect. I’m not a measurer so I eyeballed from the video. It was perfect. I will send a photo when I figure out where
Chef John representing!!! Greetings from Greece my friend! Tzatziki is ok for this heavenly dish, but I would recommend a fairly pepperie Feta cheese or even fresh mizithra or anthoteero (greek buttery AMAZEBALLS cheese that is either without salt or with) which is more subtle and soft at taste. And you should try dry mizithra on your pasta dishes instead of parmezan. Parmezan is certainly good but dry mizithra will taste and feel like velvet in your mouth. And try replacing riccota with fresh mizithra or anthoteero for the cheesy filling in your lasagna.... If only we had the marketing tactics and when it comes down to it, really cared about it to pursuit, like the French and the Italians do....
Thank you for giving me permission to add feta to yet another dish.
Do you think I can marinate this overnight?? Thanks!
I'm doing this while in quarantine because everything it's easy to find (kind of) here. I can honestly say this is the juiciest most flavorful chicken I've ever had. Even the roasted chicken (homage to Julia) does not come close to this (sorry :( ) Thank you chef! You have given me yet another fool proof, delicious recipe to keep at hand even when things look not so bright but eventually they will :). Thanks!!!
Hi chef John! Just came here today to hear your voice. Have a great weekend.
I love this guys recipes but his voice grates me.
Made this for my hubby’s birthday dinner and it looks beautiful and delicious. I added paprika and dried parsley to my seasoning. Thanks for sharing
Didn't think of paprika. Great idea!
Barium Enema I like color on my chicken 🍗
I have made this recipe several times now and it simply rocks‼️ Chef John, you are a master and totally relatable👍
Made this today as a meal to end my Ramadan fast. It was so good, couldn’t help but think of the Palestinian people fasting without food or water, breaking their fast with grass and lemon juice.
They’re getting what they deserve
"you are the plato of your plate bro." this is an excellent line and you should be proud bro.
This is one of the best things I've ever made. Thank you
This recipe is DELICOUS! Making it again today. I add wedges of onions and in addtion to to the minced garlic, I add halved cloves which carmelize and sweeten. OMG. You are correct, the chicken is just an excuse to get to the potatoes!!! Thank you, Chef John for all of your awesome content.
Outstanding dish. I put it together last night served the dish to my oldest and the Babe nailed it! Thank you for your talent.
Did he say, 'crustification'? Ha!
This is one of my favorite Greek meals ... Thank you for this, Chef John, my hero 🤗
I've been wanting to make this since you posted it and I finally did today! It's so delicious!!
just made this for dinner tonight turned out amazing! thanks for recipe.
this is one of my standards. My cousin was married to a Greek man and he taught her, she taught me. its wonderful
Just made this. Best dish ever. Used boneless skinless thighs so we missed out on the crunchy skin but marinated over night and so incredibly flavorful... both potatoes and chicken. Thank you!!!
I Aristotally love this!!
Check out me !
Well played 😂
😂
I socrathink you deserve a good 2 min in the corner for that joke!
The potato on your Plato?
I tried this today and it's simply amazing ❤️❤️
I just made something similar today - except without the potatoes. Now I'm gonna make it again this weekend for the proper chicken and potato!
Uh yeah. Just the chicken.
Derrick Lee ...but did it have lemon and garlic etc?
curiousSOUL22 yep!
This has been a staple in my house 8 and a half years now, still slaps
I and my friend cooked it yesterday, it turned out so delicious that we are cooking it again today. Thank you for sharing.
I made this and it turned out great! Thanks for the recipe!
I made this right now and OH MY GOD it turned out great!!! Thanks!! :)
Just love Chef John!!! Thank you always
I'm making this tonight. I just finished massaging the marinade into the chicken, and the smell is heavenly. Can't wait!
I made this for dinner a couple of days ago and it was absolutely delicious. Will certainly be on the menu a lot more. I have to agree that the potatoes were the stars. Wonderful!
Woah... that looks so good!!! I wish I could cook those everyday.. and eat it!!!
Do it!
I've been walking on this planet for about 42 years and I've never tried to make this simple, delicious, and healthy food...! How silly of me...! :(
awesome name.
silly indeed, need to try it.
Iron Fist iron fist. Let's walk on the planet together the next 42 years
Chef John,
Do you time these meals so you and whoever can eat it right after, or do you time it for lighting and just eat some and reheat it later?
ScottyMcWaves the later!
Food Wishes You mean "latter", right, chef?
One of my favourite recipes. Everyone loves it when I make it!
