Greek chicken marinade with potatoes

Greek Chicken Marinade with Potatoes

This Greek Chicken Marinade with Potatoes was created using ingredients I I always have in my kitchen. It's very simple to put together, and uses minimal equipment to prepare. The key to this delicious meal is allowing sufficient time to marinate the chicken. If given enough time in the fridge, the chicken becomes beautifully flavourful. The minty oregano marries beautifully with the tangy yogurt, bright lemon, and zesty garlic. By baking the entire dish in a single tray, the chicken cooks in it's own juices, keeping it incredibly moist. The potatoes are crisp on the outside, while staying fluffy and soft on the inside.
