This dinner bowl has a little bit of everything, which is why I love it so much. It’s Greek-inspired and so delicious.
Around this time last year I made Chicken Tzatziki Bowls that have been so popular over the past year. That recipe became everyone’s favorite. I too love to make those bowls, they’re full of so many yummy flavors.
This year, I’ve been making a lot of sheet pan dishes that include protein and a vegetable. But I wanted to make a new Greek-inspired bowl with even more color.
What I did next was to open my fridge and proceed to remove every ingredient that looked yummy. My assortment ended up being all of my favorite pickled condiments: dill pickles, pickled red onion, pickled jalapeños, and pepperoncini. Yep, I decided to make a chicken bowl with “all things pickled” plus some sun-dried tomatoes in oil.
My ingredient decision-making process sounds a bit silly, but I love the way this turned out. And it’s so easy to create on a weeknight! It’s also perfect for meal prepping.
Here are the details
Step 1: season the chicken
The chicken is where you want to start. It’s seasoned with plenty of spices: smoked paprika, oregano, onion, garlic, and turmeric. Super flavorful.
Mix the chicken on a sheet pan. Then, on the other side of the sheet pan, add the sweet potatoes, tossing them simply with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast both together until they each get a bit crispy.
Step 2: the honey garlic tahini
While the chicken is roasting, I like to make a quick homemade honey garlic tahini sauce. It’s tahini, a bit of garlic, lemon, honey, and salt. So simple but the honey in the sauce really makes it special. Do not skip it.
We love this sauce drizzled over the sweet potatoes, especially with toasted sesame seeds on top.
Step 3: the toppings
The toppings are really up to you. I used dill pickles, pickled red onions, pickled jalapeños, pepperoncini, and sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil. I tossed my “pickled things” with a handful of fresh herbs (a mix of dill, basil, parsley, and cilantro).
You can use a mix of condiments you love most here, but I thought the pickles were especially delicious with the pepperoncini.
Step 4: now the Tzatziki sauce
I usually make my own Tzatziki sauce with plain Greek yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, lemon, and dill. Then, I love to add a jalapeño for a little bit of kick.
You can easily pick up Tzatziki at the grocery store as well. Do whatever you have time for!
Step 5: put it all together
By now, you all know that I love a delicious bowl-style dinner. Most of my “bowl” recipes begin with a base of rice, so I started there. I then layered on the chicken and sweet potatoes, adding lots of Tzatziki and honey tahini. I finished each bowl with a sprinkling of feta cheese, then added my “pickled things” salad mix.
It could not have come out more delicious. A super flavorful, wonderfully colorful meal for winter and even upcoming spring days too!
And I love that the leftovers are perfect for enjoying the next day for lunch! The tahini sauce will last all week and can be used in multiple recipes.

Hi, is it me or did the sliding scale of servings disappear? I swear it was there this am. I’m trying to halve the recipe. (I understand I can just halve myself, but it’s just easier when it’s there).
Thank you.
