500 grams of chicken thighs, boneless (ideally 4 pieces)
350 grams of baby potatoes
1 teaspoon of dried oregano, dried
1 lemon, zested

½ cup of Kalamata olives, (or more as desired)
100 grams of feta, crumbled

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 200°C.
-
Heat a pot of water until boiling. Halve the potatoes, add to the water and cook for 10 minutes. Drain well. Toss the potatoes with a good glug of oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread out on an oven-proof tray and roast for 15 minutes.
-
Toss the capsicum pieces and sliced red onion with a little oil and add to the tray amongst the potatoes.
-
Toss the chicken with the oregano, lemon zest, a drizzle of oil and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Add this to the tray also.
-
Reduce the oven to 180°C and cook for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, nestle in the tomatoes amongst the other ingredients and scatter over the olives.
-
Break the feta into chunks and tuck all around the tray. Bake for another 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
