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.

  2. This was soooo good! And the leftover feta/olive/tomato mix broiled on some toast, with leftover garlic yogurt the next day? Perfect?

    Super amazing and flavorful! I ate it with some naan I had and its so delicious. I skipped the olives because I dont like them but I dont think it needs them. The pine nuts really add such a nice accent on top of the meal. This is definitely going to be made frequently in my home.

    I made this for our family a couple of nights ago and we mostly loved it. It wasn’t difficult at all, wasn’t too time consuming, and I love the idea of spreading all that yummy goodness on a baking sheet to cook together.

    There are two things that could have gone better for us, and I think I’ll try again. 1) We must have used lemons that are much bigger than yours because it was way too lemon-ey. I like lemon but it was too sour. I think that next time if all we have are big ones, I’ll just use one. That would be plenty.

    Also, I shouldn’t have left the finishing off of the dish to my husband (I had a Zoom meeting and the timing was just too tight). I had hoped it would look nice and browned on top like yours, but it definitely DIDN’T look like that, even though everything was cooked completely. I think next time I’ll maybe finish it off with a couple of minutes under the broiler. I think that would have raised the yum factor from very good to amazing.

    Thanks for all your great recipes. We’re definitely enjoying them!

    This was an absolute winner, will probably become a staple. I used pumpkin instead of potatoes, red onion instead of shallot for the marinade, and 1 lemon + 1 orange instead of 2 lemons (had to play with what was available). Chicken breasts were the choice. It was amaaaaazing, one of the best things I tasted in life! Thank you so much! *

    Just made this! Just a note- after I made the dressing/ marinade in step one, I didn’t see where to put it on again! From the picture I thought to add it before I put the chicken in the oven. Hopefully that was right! My chicken also came out kind of tough. Not sure why.. maybe needed to be in longer ?!
