Herby Chicken Casserole

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • 1 Large oven-proof casserole

Ingredients
  

  • 1.2 kg chicken cut in 8 parts, skin on
  • 500 g baby potatoes halved
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp mixed dried herbs such as thyme rosemary, oregano, parsley, marjoram (see notes)
  • A whole bulb of garlic halved across, plus a few cloves
  • Black pepper
  • Olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Arrange the chicken pieces together with the potatoes in a large oven proof casserole and season with salt and black pepper and a generous pouring of olive oil.
  • Sprinkle over dry herbs and drizzle with a little lemon juice. Scatter around a few garlic cloves and tuck in the halves of the bulb. Leave a couple of lemon wedges, too.
  • Roast in the oven at 180C for 40 minutes with lid on. Remove the lid and cook for another 10-20 minutes until the chicken is tender.

Notes

  • You can use a store bought mix of herbs or curate your own selection - thyme and oregano are a great combination for this recipe.
