This Mediterranean Lemon Chicken is the dictionary definition of a wholesome and visually appealing dinner made in one-pot. Ready in less than an hour, it is the perfect weeknight dinner or weekend feast.
0 Prep chicken: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Pat dry chicken thighs with paper towels. Season well with salt and pepper on both sides.
1 Brown chicken: Heat olive oil in an oven-proof skillet set over medium heat. Sear the chicken, skin-side down, until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Do your best not to move them so much. Chicken should release once it is properly seared.
2 Add vegetables and broth: Add in the potatoes and garlic and spread them around the chicken. Pour in the chicken broth. Bring it to a boil.
3 Add the rest: Add in the olives. Distribute the slices of lemon and thyme evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
4 Bake: Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until chicken is fully cooked and tender, 20-25 minutes.
5 Serve: Serve immediately alongside your favorite rice, bulgur, quinoa, or salad.
