  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange lemon slices in a single layer on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Combine garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss in chicken, potatoes, tomatoes, and olives to coat. Lay chicken over lemon slices in the dish, then top with vegetable mixture.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and potatoes are tender, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Toss one more time in the dish to coat with sauce before serving.
