Lemon Garlic Arabic Chicken with Potatoes and Onions

Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet:
Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil.
Season chicken:
In a bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, oregano, rosemary, salt and pepper. Add chicken thighs to mixture, making sure they are evenly coated.
Arrange chicken and potatoes on baking sheet:
Arrange potato slices evenly across the bottom of the pan. Arrange seasoned chicken pieces on top of potatoes. Distribute garlic cloves and onion wedges evenly around chicken and potatoes.
Bake:
Transfer baking sheet to preheated oven and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown and potatoes are tender, turning chicken halfway through to cook evenly.
Serve:
Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Serve the chicken and potatoes piping hot, garnishing with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Tip:
You can vary the spices to suit your personal taste. Add other herbs like thyme or sage for a richer flavor.
For a refreshing touch, you can squeeze a little lemon juice over the freshly cooked chicken and potatoes before serving.
Be sure to check the doneness of the chicken with a food thermometer. It needs to reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F to be fully cooked.
This dish can be paired with a simple green salad or a serving of grilled vegetables for a complete and nutritious meal.
