Easy Greek Chicken Dinner

This is a delicious, healthy and easy to prepare dinner, using just one baking sheet.  If you marinate the chicken ahead of time, you can have dinner on the table in about half an hour.  Enjoy a mild Greek flavor to the dinner table.

INGREDIENTS
12 Ounces Baby Red Potatoes
12 Ounces Fresh Asparagus (or Green Beans)
6 Chicken Thighs (Bone in/Skin On)
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
3 Garlic Cloves
Juice from 1 Lemon
1 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Oregano
Kosher Salt to taste
Black Pepper to taste
1 Tablespoon Parsley

MARINADE
Prepare a marinade, using a large zip lock plastic bag.  Pour the marinade, consisting of the Olive Oil, minced Garlic Cloves, Lemon Juice, Red Wine Vinegar, Oregano and Salt and Pepper to taste.  Add the chicken thighs to the bag, mix well in marinade and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour.  Turn the bag occasionally to ensure the chicken thighs are thoroughly marinated.

PREPARATION
Wash and cut the Red Potatoes in half.  Place them, flat side down on a baking sheet which has been sprayed with non-stick oil.  Arrange the Asparagus between and around the potatoes, forming a single layer of vegetables.  Now drizzle some Olive Oil over the potatoes and Asparagus, as well as salt and pepper to taste.  Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and place them on top of the layer of vegetables in a single layer.

Preheat the oven to 375 F degrees and place the baking sheet into the oven for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.  When the thighs are completely cooked, move the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for about 5 minutes or until the skin on the chicken thighs is crispy and slightly blackened.

Place chicken and vegetables on a serving dish, topping with parsley for a pleasing appearance.  Ready to serve!
