Greek Lemon Chicken and Potato Bake

Description

I love one-pan meals, especially when no measuring and exact ingredients are involved. I made this one Sunday when I didn’t want to babysit my food in the kitchen! Turned out great, and I served it with tzatziki sauce.

  • 4 chicken leg quarters
  • 1 (24 ounce) bag small potatoes
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 lemons, juiced, divided
  • 2 tablespoons dried basil

  5. basil
