How to cook deliciously - Greek Lemon-Butter Chicken & Smashed Potatoes

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 425°. In a large pot, cover potatoes with water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let sit until cool enough to handle.

2. Stage

On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes and onions with half of butter. Using the bottom of a small glass or mason jar, press down on potatoes to smash into flat patties; season with salt and pepper. Nestle lemon slices into potato mixture.

3. Stage

Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle remaining butter all over chicken. Sprinkle skin of chicken with oregano. Nestle chicken skin side up in potato mixture.

4. Stage

Roast until potatoes and chicken are golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 165°, about 45 minutes total.

5. Stage

In a small bowl, combine olives, parsley, and feta. Sprinkle over top of chicken right out of the oven. Serve warm.
