Mediterranean Roast

Cookinero 1 May 2025

The combination of potatoes and chicken is familiar to us from childhood. Many variations and interpretations. But it is unlikely that you have come across such a hearty and simple recipe before. Juicy marinated chicken thighs in spicy spices with potatoes are perfect as a hot dish for a large company. The recipe, consisting of only 3 steps (marinate the chicken, put it on a baking sheet with potatoes and bake), will not leave anyone hungry.

How to cook Mediterranean Roast

Step 1

Mediterranean Roast

Rub the chicken thighs with salt, pepper and spices on both sides.

Step 2

Mediterranean Roast

Transfer the chicken to a deep plate, add more spices and a little sunflower oil. Stir.

Step 3

Mediterranean Roast

Cover the chicken with cling film and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes.

Step 4

Mediterranean Roast

Cut the onion into large half rings.

Step 5

Mediterranean Roast

Cut the potatoes into large wedges. If the potatoes are young, you don't need to peel them.

Step 6

Mediterranean Roast

In a deep bowl, mix onion, potatoes, chicken and sour cream. Salt to taste.

Step 7

Mediterranean Roast

Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the chicken and potatoes on top. Bake in the oven for 1 hour at 180⁰С.

Step 8

Mediterranean Roast

When the dish is slightly baked, brush the chicken with the remaining sour cream for a more appetizing crust.

Step 9

Mediterranean Roast

Check the chicken for doneness by piercing it with a skewer. Clear juice from the chicken indicates doneness, but if the juice is pink (with blood), then the roast should simmer in the oven for another 7-10 minutes.

Mediterranean Roast - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute chicken breasts, but they may cook faster and dry out more easily. Reduce baking time by 10-15 minutes and check for doneness earlier.
Coconut yogurt or a dairy-free yogurt alternative works well. For a richer flavor, you can also use olive oil mixed with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for best texture.
Yes, replace the chicken with hearty vegetables like eggplant, zucchini, or mushrooms. Increase baking time slightly if needed for tender veggies.
Serve with a fresh Greek salad, warm pita bread, or tzatziki sauce for a complete Mediterranean meal.
Yes, freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating in the oven.
Omit the potatoes and add low-carb veggies like cauliflower, bell peppers, or asparagus instead.
Use a meat thermometer—chicken is done when it reaches 75°C (165°F) internally.
