Step 1
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Peel and quarter the potatoes, then set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 4
Working in batches, brown the chicken thighs skin-side down for 4-5 minutes until golden, then flip and brown the other side for 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5
Pour off excess oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Return chicken to the skillet, then add drained potatoes, lemon juice, chicken broth, oregano, and bay leaves.
Step 7
Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and braise for 30-35 minutes until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
Step 8
Uncover and increase heat to medium-high, cooking for 3-5 minutes to slightly reduce the sauce and crisp the potatoes.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Remove bay leaves before serving.
