Sheet Pan Chicken Tzatziki and Sweet Potatoes. Street food-inspired oven-roasted chicken served bowl-style with all the extras and topped with everything pickled. Rice, pickles, fresh herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, pepperoncini, and plenty of feta. Then add a delicious creamy tzatziki sauce and lemon honey garlic tahini. The result is a yummy Greek-inspired sheet pan meal that everyone will love.
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 dinners that include chicken 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!
Here are the details
Step 1: season the chicken
The chicken is where you want to start. It’s seasoned with 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.

Hey Courtney,
Happy Sunday! Thanks so much for trying this recipe and sharing your feedback, so glad it was enjoyed! xT
This was incredible for dinner tonight. Everyone loved it! I also used your recipe for home made tzatziki. Game changer. Fabulous recipe! Thank you.
Hey Wendy,
Happy Sunday!! Thanks a lot for giving this recipe a try, I’m so glad to hear it was a hit! xT
I tried this recipe for the first time and loved it. The spices for the chicken were spot on and the slight heat from the pepper was cooled by the tzatziki . My first time putting tahini sauce on sweet potatoes. My husband who is a very picky eater enjoyed the flavours . Definately something we will try with company. We did not do the pickled salad. Not my thing. But we did substituted a Greek salad instead.
Can you tell me which cook book is this recipe from. I am wondering why you don’t comment what receipe books you have your online recipes published in?
Thanks a lot, Olga!! I am thrilled to hear that this recipe turned out well for you, thanks for your comment! Sorry, this recipe is only online. The recipes that are in the cookbooks are exclusive to the books which is why I don’t mention that on the blog recipes:) Xx
This recipe was an AMAZING mix of wonderful flavors!! Truly a recipe to be repeated for loved ones!!😍
Hey Melina,
Amazing!! I’m so glad to hear this recipe turned out well for you, thanks so much for making it! Have a great weekend! xT
Why only 3 stars then?
Outstanding. We divvied up the different tasks among four family members, so this came together quickly and easily. Each item complemented the other so perfectly. We all loved the cool, herby, pickled salad and the cool tzatziki contrasted with the warm chicken and creamy sweet potatoes. So satisfying, beautiful, and delicious. This is also a dish which could be prepped on the weekend and popped in the oven on Monday or Tuesday. If you happen to have an Indian grocery store near you, you can get a gallon of whole milk yogurt for $4 and 7 oz. of sesame seeds or great curry powder for $1. Not everything is cheaper, but these items which can be pricey in a “regular” market always make my trip more than worthwhile and dishes like these very affordable. Thanks for a fantastic recipe which we are all looking forward to repeating!

Tasty! Next time I’ll separate the potatoes from the chicken. They didn’t quite crisp up, die to the juice from the chicken. But a very tasty meal!
