Author Notes
I am always trying to revamp recipes with a healthy modern day twist. This take on Greek Chicken eliminates the starchy white potatoes and replaces them with sweet potatoes, while adding kale for the delicious taste and obvious health benefits. The dish turned out delicious and absolutely gorgeous! Not only did my family and friends love it but it only takes 15 minutes to prepare! You can't go wrong with this dish. Enjoy. —Karyn Boraiko

Directions
-
This is so easy folks! Start by pre heating your oven to 375 degrees. Make sure to choose a baking dish large enough to place the ingredients without them overlapping so the chicken gets nice and crispy.
-
Place the chicken in baking dish skin side up. Next place the sweet potatoes, kale, and crushed garlic around the chicken.
-
Squeeze the lemons all over the chicken and potatoes and than toss them in the baking dish with everything. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken lightly coating the chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper and oregano being sure the chicken is generously coated. Lastly add the water being careful not to let the seasoning come off the chicken.
-
Pop baking dish in the oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours. While this is baking you will want to baste the chicken and potatoes a few times in the last 45 minutes of cooking to ensure crisp chicken and flavorful potatoes. Yum!!!
