Roasted Greek Chicken with Shiitake Mushrooms and Potatoes

One pot meals are a godsend on busy weeknights and this one, which is based on Mediterranean flavors, is as simple and low maintenance as it gets.  Rub chicken thighs and drumsticks in a baking dish with olive oil, garlic, oregano, sliced white onions, lemon juice and S&P, then roast in a 350 degree oven for 45-55 minutes.  With about 10 minutes to go, add some white wine and then toss in some sliced potatoes and mushrooms.  If you put the chicken in the dish skin-side up and don't mess with it during the cooking process, the skin will get nice and crispy, and a really good pan sauce will form.  It turned out amazing...the earthiness of the oregano and garlic was a nice contrast to the acidity of the lemon juice and wine.
