GREEK LEMON CHICKEN is a must-make, super easy dinner recipe!

- This lemon chicken recipe is all about juicy, tender, and golden-baked chicken thighs coated with the best lemon-herb Greek marinade. It's quick to prep, easy to cook, and the results are fantastic!
If there is one chicken recipe I could live off of, it's this Greek lemon chicken. I'm a sucker for skin-on chicken thighs given how naturally juicy and flavorful they are. Plus, I love how it's virtually impossible to overcook chicken thighs in the oven. But this bright and herby lemon chicken marinade is what makes this dish so satisfying.

Being Greek, my dad made this chicken, including peeled quartered potatoes for yummy oven-roasted potatoes with the same flavor. Love all your recipes and have made a few. 😃
Greek chicken and potatoes are a classic 😉 I'll have to make a version like that!
Did he add mustard to it because no Hellenic people that I've ever made contact with use Dijon mustard in our chicken. I also don't understand this obsession with cooks adding Dijon to salad dressings.
No Dijon mustard in our Greek lemon chicken. It’s just a tradition at home. I agree with adding lemon potatoes.

If you add a 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt to the marinade, it would to take the flavor to a whole new level.
I’ve got a recipe for this. Thinly sliced potatoes to line the bottom of your roasting pan, place chicken thighs on top, sprinkle generously with thyme, a bit of salt and pepper (to taste), scatter cubed butter lumps over the top, squeeze lemon juice over the entire thing, and bake. Baste chicken occasionally. Serve with some lemon zest and the sauce. I usually pair mine with broad beans.
Thank you so much for this wonderful and simple recipe. It was a hit tonight at my family dinner ❤️
I'm a Pakistani and I love this dish, not only me, but my wife and kids too, made it myself twice at home and it's just an amazing tantalising food experience.❤
Just made this and I am blown away! The rice is heavenly!
Your cookbook is fabulous, I so enjoyed going through it and making several of your recipes. 😊
I just have to say....THANK YOU!!! My husband was literally amazed, the recipe was to the T perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner
I'm Greek , and I jump for joy when my mother and grandma cook this delicious meal! I agree that this is a must-make super easy recipe! Thank you for cooking meals of my country!🙂😘🇬🇷
Mediterranean food is a staple in my kitchen! 😉
@@Downshiftology I have understood that from your recipes! 🙂❤️
Thank you for your reply to my comment !
Wow! This looks amazing! I am so glad i found your channel and can't wait to try this recipe! Thank you so much! ❤
So simple and it looks absolutely delicious! Thanks for this quick weeknight meal!
You are so welcome! Hope you enjoy 😊
Made this last night. My Wife said it was the best chicken I've ever made. We only tried it last night. Tonight I reheated it for dinner and made the basmati rice and green beans. Wow. Outstanding!! Thanks for the side dish recommendations. Loved it!!
How long did you marinate it? I’d love to marinate for 5-6 hrs but worry it would be too “lemony” and no chicken taste! Very novice cook here, lol Thanks in advance!
I have noticed a pattern in my recipe searches and your channel comes up alot. Just ordered my cookbook and boy am I excited. I’ve made several recipes and they have never disappointed. THANK YOU 🙏
Looks like our taste buds align perfectly 😉 Hope you enjoy your new book!
Ohhh yummy!!!! Your recipes are amazing and always a hit in my house.Thank you Lisa this is definitely on my menu this week
Hope you enjoy!!
Loved it. When I first try a recipe, I usually follow the instructions / ingredients for the first time, then modify to suit my tastes. No mods necessary, it was perfect. In my case, I used your recipe on party wings (long story short, I am trying to replicate some Greek / lemon chicken wings form a restaurant that closed a few years ago). Baked in throw away aluminum pan 400dgrs for 1 hour turning (4) times. Browned both sides a short time on broil. Next time I will try the thighs. Thanks again!
Made this tonight, it was delicious! Everyone loved it. Thank You!
I love love love when you do full meals it makes it so much easier for my brain!!! Thank you!!!
Were the two extra "loves" necessary?
@@guyfawkes578 yep
@@EAJurk Why?
Looks delicious and so easy, as well. ευχαριστώ !
I just made it and it’s absolutely delicious. The prep was 5-10 minutes which is also great. Thank you for sharing 😊
Glad you loved this dish!
I saved this recipe and made it on this beautiful Sunday evening. It is absolutely Delicious! The only thing that I did differently is that I added some rosemary and a few pats of butter to the chicken. There was so much pan drippings within the dish I decided to just use it to put over rice. I appreciate this recipe that will now be a staple in my home. Thankyou!
Love the way you handled biting into and enjoying the chicken!
It is a good assortment. The side dishes make the recipe complete. Thank you! 😊
I made this last night, it was wonderful just the way you created it! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!!
One of my favourites.
Good to see that this chicken dish is so popular and Lisa has kept it authentic.
Thanks Lisa…!
Such a delicious chicken dish! 😊

@@Downshiftology Done! Thank you again!
We tried this chicken recipe for dinner tonight. Delicious!!
Hi Lisa. My husband and I enjoyed this recipe for dinner tonight. I love eating through your cookbook. The rice was so good with the chicken. Keep up the great recipes.
Happy to hear both of you enjoyed this recipe and are loving the cookbook! ❤️
Absolutely delicious!
"Downshiftology, you've done it again! 🍋🍗 The way you've combined the tangy zest of lemon with the richness of the Greek marinade is absolutely sublime. Juicy, tender chicken thighs bursting with flavor are exactly what I crave for a hearty, delightful meal. This recipe embodies the perfect balance of zestiness and savory goodness. Can't wait to serve this up and watch it be the star of the dinner table. Your dedication to crafting vibrant and delicious dishes shines through every time. Keep those culinary gems coming!"
I love Greek inspired foods. This is definitely on my must make list
Then you'll definitely love this recipe!
I would like to offer another side dish for this chicken.. You take 4-8 potatoes (depends on how many you want to serve - even more if you need)...peel and cut each potato into 12 cube-sized pieces...put them in a casserole dish...add the juice of 1-2 fresh lemons...1-2 tablespoons of mustard...salt, pepper, oregano, 1-2 tablespoons of honey ...and the juice of as many fresh oranges as you need to cover the potatoes (ABSOLUTELY NO WATER...the potatoes bake in the orange juice, if the potatoes need more liquid to continue baking just add more orange juice)...olive oil.....bake at 180°C as long as needed for the potatoes to become soft.. (you can start with half covering the potatoes with the orange juice at the beginning and just keep adding more juice until the potatoes become nice and soft)....you can also add 3-4 whole cloves of garlic.......(I know the orange juice sounds a bit strange so make a small batch the first time you try this but believe me it is really tasty!!!)... Good night from Greece!! Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!!
😊
Thanks!!
Thank you for this!
@nicoletalappa2618 - I do both the Greek chicken AND the potatoes in the same dish together! Superb! I even add black olives as well.
This is what my Greek ex used to cook. Thanks for reminding me of him and his amazing cooking skills🥲
Omg!!! This chicken recipe is a must have! It is so easy to make and it is delicious! Thank you Lisa!
Glad you're loving this recipe! 😍
Excellent marinade enhances the flavor and oven-cooked to perfection, this is an excellent Greek lemon chicken recipe!
This chicken dish looks so delicious and addictive. Beautifully well done!
Simple is good, and with the easy prep goes my being prepped for a busy week ahead with salad topping, re-heated & so many variations. Thanks for keeping things so delicious with ingredients we can easily get. Great pictures too.
Can't wait for you to try this recipe! 😉
You could also chop leftovers into a cool salad, and serve on a bed of lettuce for a hot summer day. Yummy!
I absolutely love all of your recipes!😊
Thanks so much! 😊

How delicious and beautiful ❤. Thanks Chef😊
Yes! Greek is best ❤
Thank you for sharing this recipe. So easy and very tasty. It is now in my everyday meal recipe book. ❤❤
Glad you enjoyed this lemon chicken!
Hey Lisa! I made this recipe tonight for my family and we all enjoyed it very much! I did broil the chicken and the crispy skin really captured the lemon flavors beautifully. I will be adding it to my dinner rotation! I made a simple basmati rice, hopefully next time I’ll add the herbs. Can you pls make videos for air fryer veggies? 🙏Thank you!
Amazing! Glad this recipe turned out great. I'm actually planning to make a comprehensive video for air fryer veggies in the near future, so stay tuned! But in the meantime, I have an air fryer category on my website you can reference here: downshiftology.com/method/air-fryer/
Saving this one for cooler weather when I'm more willing to turn my oven on (no a/c), this looks delicious! In the meantime I've been living on your Nicoise salad this summer!! Thank you!
Definitely bookmark this one! 😊
I can smell it through the screen. Can’t wait to try this wonderful recipe!
Hope you enjoy!
Oh my goodness, this meal looks delicious! Greek food is my favorite, TFS! ❤❤

This was delicious!
My family and I love this recipe. I don't use olive oil while cooking because it gives a bitter taste, so I swapped it for grapeseed oil. I also added paprika and bell pepper paste. Thank you ❤
I love your recipe, it's dairy-free, wheat-free and nightshade free. Just what I need 😊
Hope you enjoy this chicken recipe!
Chicken, rice and green beans look so good!! Can’t wait to make this whole meal!!
Perfect for a summer dinner 😉

Wooo! Glad it was a hit 😊
@@Downshiftology and I let two of my friends know about your recipe… They both have already made it and it also got rave reviews lol
I did your original recipe which added rice into the chicken dish and I added a red pepper plus spinach to give the dish more colour
It has been a terrific success either way
I never have any left overs!
Perfect! 😊
I just made this and it looked and tasted delicious. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed this recipe!!
You are the best❤ it's sooo professional every recipe. Makes me 😅 to have desire to cook every day. And to be proud 👏 on myself, thanks to you Lisa❤

I just made this dish and it’s really good. Can’t wait to try your other recipes. Thank you!
Hope you enjoy other recipes to come!!
Wow made the chicken came out great will be adding it to my list of must have dishes thx
Glad you loved it!
I made this today and WOW it was so good 👏🏻. I also made the rice accompaniment from your book. What a fabulous meal, I had runner beans instead of French beans. Thanks for another wonderful recipe 🇬🇧🧡
Glad you enjoyed the lemon pairing! 😊
Hi. Quick question: what do you mean with “french beans”? I’ve never heard of that before.
@@tixien In Lisa’s video right at the end when she plates it, there are green beans on the plate, in the UK we call these French Beans.
Это выглядет великолепно. И главное очень просто и очень вкусно. Обязательно приготовлю курицу по вашему рецепту. Спасибо большое.
Maybe the best meal I’ve ever had in my life! I added diced Yukon gold potatoes and carrots…Divine!!!!
Thank you so much for recipe
Glad you loved this recipe! 😊
Looks yummy!!
This looks incredible, I have looked and never found a good Greek chicken recipe. Thank you!!🥰🥰
Hope you enjoy! 😉
I hope I will too. :) @@Downshiftology
Ooh! SO good!
What temperature/setting would you recommend if cooking this chicken in the air fryer?
Mediterranean inspired meals are the perfect accompaniment to summer. Can't wait to try this!
Hope you love it!
i love your vids! they are so delish me and my family love this recipe.
I tried this recipe yesterday since the weather was nice for early August in Southern California… which means I could use the oven. We loved it! Only modification was that I used chicken “tenders” from Costco and cooked at 350 F 30 min plus 5 min broil. It was perfectly cooked, super tender. Next time I will add the rice rather than salad.
Thank you!
Glad this recipe turned out great with chicken tenders instead!
I used chicken thighs and drumsticks. It turned out juicy and the skin is nicely brown. So yummy!
Glad this turned out great with both kinds of chicken!
I am so glad you made this video, just received your cook book! 😊
Ahh! Hope you love your new book and can't wait to see all the delicious things you meal prep from it.
That marinade would be a great salad dressing too
This looks so good!! Thanks for sharing! 😍
Hope you enjoy! 😉
Simply Amazing!
