Hey, hi, and happiest Monday!

Hope you all had a great weekend! Did you watch the Super Bowl last night? Did you hopefully make plenty of food and enjoy a low key Sunday? That is my hope! Over here we’ve been having some bitter cold weather, with snowy, blustery days. Perfect for staying inside, roasting up a chicken dinner, and doing plenty of weekend baking.

Which leads me to today’s recipe. I actually made this over the weekend. I found myself needing something easy to make on Saturday night. It was FREEZING, with blowing snow, so I wanted something comforting. I almost turned to pasta. But then for some reason, I was really feeling a dinner with more of a Greek twist to it.

It’s been a while since we’ve talked about a good Greek dinner, so I pulled out this recipe. It’s such a favorite, so easy, and I wanted something different.

The Idea.

I’ve been cooking up so much Thai and Italian recipes lately that I felt like I needed to break out of that pattern a bit.

I thought about what I hadn’t created in a while and Greek was at the top.

Since I wanted to keep things easy, I decided sheet pan chicken and potatoes, but all done up with my favorite spices, herbs, and sauces.

The quick and easy details.

The beauty of a sheet pan dinner is that typically, they’re pretty darn easy to throw together. It’s why we love them so much! But what is truly special about this specific sheet pan dinner? Well, cooking everything together on one pan actually allows for more flavor to really penetrate everything from the chicken, to the potatoes.

The first thing I like to do is do a quick marinade on the chicken. I toss it with a little balsamic vinegar, oregano, paprika, shallots, and garlic. I then add lots of olive oil and chili flakes and let everything sit for a bit at room temp.

While the chicken sits. I start roasting the potatoes since they take longer to cook than the chicken.

feta cheese and sun-dried tomatoes

Once the chicken mix has rested for 15-20 minutes or so, add it to the sheet pan with the potatoes. Then add a couple of red bell peppers and onions. It’s important to slice the peppers on the thicker side so that they can cook for the same amount of time as the chicken and potatoes. For the onions, it’s the opposite, I like to cut those pretty thinly so they can caramelize while cooking.

Throw everything back into the oven to finish roasting.

And while that’s all cooking away…and making your kitchen smell incredible…mix up two things. First, I like to toss cubed feta cheese with sun-dried tomatoes and olives. The oil from the sun-dried tomatoes “marinates” the feta. It’s so delicious, you can’t skip this step!

I also do a little garlic yogurt. I love smearing this on the chicken for some creaminess, which is always nice on a sheet pan chicken.

When everything is done, layer it all together and top it with a good handful of fresh herbs.

The funny thing is that when I was working on this recipe, I wasn’t even trying to make it a one pan and done kind of dinner. It just made sense to roast the chicken and potatoes together so that the potatoes could cook-up in the oils from the chicken…making them just that much more delicious.

Simple, easy, healthy, and really just pretty darn delicious

Love the idea of this sheet pan dinner as a Monday night dinner. But honestly, it’s great any night of the week.

    This was soooo yummy! My husband said he found it “over-spiced”, and he couldn’t put his finger on what spice he meant. I loved it though! It also was easy to put together and cooked so nicely.

    So delicious! Thank you–this was the perfect meal to make at the end of a stressful day during a busy week. I was going to take a picture–it is so lovely and colorful–but my son and husband dove in and devoured it before I could! Keep those delicious, easy weeknight meals coming. I hope you have another cookbook out soon–I love the two I have so much!

  8. Thank you Tieghan for responding to me below regarding the tomato paste substitution. I was able to get some sun-dried tomatoes and made this tonight and it was so good. Your recipes are always outstanding and I have made several of them.

  9. I just saved this recipe and I am making it tomorrow for dinner. When you say fresh herbs for garnish what exactly did you use? Thank you!

    Nice flavor. Prep time is far more that stated. Takes 20 minutes just to grab all the ingredients haha. Next time I’d add less potatoes and more chicken. We also added tzatziki sauce which really helped to add depth to the flavor. The yogurt recipe above is pretty basic and bland so didn’t add enough flavor for us. The whole dish tasted even better day 2.

  14. I am making this tomorrow night. If I don’t have sun-dried tomatoes, do you think tomato paste would work?

    1. Hey Natalie,
      So sorry unfortunately I don’t think tomato paste will give the same results. The oil from the sun-dried tomatoes really marinates the feta. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan

    HI,
    I just wanted to let you know I made this for my family last night- It was absolutely delicious! I didn’t add the red pepper – that was the only change I made ( some of my kids don’t like things too spicy) My daughter studying remote from college said it was her favorite dinner! Thank you so much for a great recipe! Love your website!
