What makes this chicken and potato dinner so good is the balsamic chicken marinade and in particular the fresh rosemary and garlic. If you don’t have fresh rosemary, which I highly recommend using, you can use the dried but, put more in.
How old are your spices? If it’s been years, it’s time to replace them. Spices lose flavor over time. Pitch them.
Also, if you can marinate the chicken for two or three hours, that will give it even more flavor. It doesn’t take long to make this flavorful balsamic chicken marinade.
How to Make One Pan Rosemary and Balsamic Chicken Thighs and Lemon Potatoes
This recipe is easy-to-make because once you are done prepping the balsamic chicken marinade and unpeeled potatoes, you are ready to bake! The marinade only takes minutes to prepare as do the potatoes. The full recipe is at the end of this post.
How to Make Balsamic Chicken Marinade
The marinade is extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh rosemary and garlic and Kosher salt. The Kosher salt gives the meat a really nice flavor so try to use that instead of table salt.
I also use a good EVOO. You want olive oil to be a rich, dark green color as that has the most flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp Kosher salt or 3/4 tsp of table salt
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped rosemary
Instructions
- Add all ingredients plus 6 chicken thighs into a 1 gallon zipper plastic storage bag and close tightly. Knead the bag so the marinade coats all of the chicken. Put the bag in the refrigerator for 1-3 hours.
Prepping the potatoes only takes washing them off, cutting them into small cubes and stirring them together with more EVOO, fresh rosemary, lemon juice, garlic and salt.
After chicken as marinated for one hour, take out of fridge but, leave in bag and let it come closer to room temperature while you are prepping the potatoes. Bake the chicken and potatoes in a 13″x9″x3″ baking dish in a 400F oven for about 45 min.

Hi Joy.
Actually no. The lemon juice is only supposed to go in the potatoes in this recipe. I made an error mentioning it in the chicken marinade instead of the potatoes in the body of the post. The recipe at the bottom is correct. I fixed it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
If you added some lemon juice in with the marinade ingredients, it should still be good.
Let me know how it turns out.
Is there supposed to be lemon in the chicken marinade as well?
Hope you’ll come back and let me know how it turned out. I am particularly fond of these photos.
