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.
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.

Made this for Father’s Day to great acclaim! Thanks for the recipe! Left out the olives and pine nuts. Used about half the jar of sun-dried tomatoes mixed with a 6 oz. container of Mediterranean-flavored feta. Served with a salad and some good bread. Can’t wait to make it again!

Phenomenal. So quick and easy and incredibly flavorful. One of those meals I kept wanting to eat “just one more bite!”
Hey Catherine,
I really appreciate you giving this recipe a try, I am thrilled that it was enjoyed! xxTieghan
Took a little longer to prep than expected, but loved cooking all in one pan. I used chicken thighs just to ensure the protein would stay moist. Overall, pretty tasty and enough leftovers for tomorrow’s dinner 🙂
Hey Kathryn,
Thanks so much for making this recipe, I am so glad to hear that it was enjoyed! Have a wonderful day:) xTieghan
What do you do with the roasted lemons?
Hey Cathy,
You can serve with the roasted lemon, it really just helps to infuse the dish while baking. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you give it a try! xTieghan
Tieghan I did make this on Saturday for a group of widows that I love to bless with a meal once a month and game night! They loved it and they said it felt like they were at a find dining restaurant! It was so flavorful and I loved how easy it was so that I could spend time with my guests and not in the kitchen. Will be part of my rotation for sure. Cathy
Hey Catherine,
I am so so glad to hear that this recipe was enjoyed and I appreciate you giving it a try!! xxTieghan
This recipe looks incredible as do all of your recipes. I was scrolling through Tik Tok and found your post. I instantly looked through all of your posts and I cannot believe that there is not recipe that I am not dying to make. I went to your website and am now hooked. I ordered your cookbook and I can’t wait to get cooking. I can honestly say that I have never come across anyone so far that I want to make everyone of their recipes. Everything is just gorgeous. You have definitely inspired me. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind message John! I hope you love the cookbooks and everything you make. Have a wonderful weekend:) xTieghan
This is one of the best sheet pan meals I’ve ever had. It’s in my regular rotation at this point. Anything with a tbs of smoked paprika is a win for me, but this is above and beyond, not to mention super easy. I don’t change anything (rare for me!), although I sometimes use crumbled feta when it’s all I have and it’s still great. Your recipes always turn out to be delicious. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Hey Andrea,
Awesome!! I am so glad this recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for making it! xTieghan
So so good!! I added the feta/sun dried tomatoes with about 3 minutes left to bake. The feta melted and got a bit toasted—yummy!
Hey Cathy,
Happy Friday!! I am so excited that this recipe was enjoyed, I appreciate you giving it a try!! xTieghan
I’m love this recipe. The flavors are delicious. Making this fit a group of friends and one doesn’t eat meat. Would you substitute tempeh or tofu? Thank you?
Hey Jenny,
Thanks a bunch for making this recipe, I am so glad it was enjoyed! I would use tofu. xxTieghan
Made this last night and LOVED it. My husband woke up this morning telling me how excited he was to eat the leftovers! I loved how simple this recipe was, and how I didn’t have to go out and get special ingredients to make it. We’ll be making this again! Thanks Tieghan!
