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.

Do you have the macros for one serving? Thought I’d ask before I calculated It! Thanks!
Hi Casey,
So sorry, I do not have that info at this time! xx
All I kept saying was, “OMG THIS IS SOOO GOOD!” Super easy to make and this recipe can be customized to fit your likings. The chicken is too flavorful. Some of the potatoes burned a little but I blame my oven. I’ll try a lower temperate setting next time. Also, if you’re making your own Tzatziki sauce, make it ahead of time so there’s time for it to marinate in the fridge. 100/10!
Thank you so much Jen!! Love to hear that this recipe was such a hit, I appreciate you making it! xT
All the flavors! Loved that I was able to do all the prep earlier in the day so all I had to do at dinner time was cook the rice, potatoes and chicken… so easy when you have company! I used lots of cilantro, dill and a little basil in the pickled salad…so good! Only thing I omitted was the tahini sauce and chose to drizzle the chicken with lemon juice and honey once it was in the bowls. Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Thank you so much Jeanine!! I love to hear that this recipe was enjoyed:) Thank you so much for making it! xT
This is soooo good! I love how all the components make a restaurant-quality meal. I always want to make meals with all the different flavors like at a restaurant but I don’t know how to put it all together. Now I’m learning! We did a little basmati rice under everything and served with naan. Delish! Thank you Tieghan!
Hi Jennifer,
Thank you so much for your kind message and trying this recipe! So glad to hear it turned out well for you! xT
This was delicious!! Thanks for a great recipe.
Thanks so much Francesca!! Love to hear that this recipe turned out well for you:) xT
We made this tonight — following the recipe exactly and it was absolutely delicious. There is a lot going on with the sweet potatoes, rice, Tzatziki, tahini, feta, pickle salad, etc., and we didn’t know what to expect but we loved it. Thanks!
Hi Patti,
Thanks a lot for trying this recipe, I love to hear that it turned out well:) Happy Sunday! xT
Delicious. I made this last night for my family and we loved it. DH recommended we add sliced tomatoes next time & college son loved it as is. I did not do the full herb salad (fresh herbs are pricey in winter and I don’t like to risk the cost on a new recipe from an author I’m not familiar with) but the pickles were enough of a fresh veg side on their own. This was our second recipe from Tieghan this week and it was a hit, as was the first. Thank you for sharing your talents with us home cooks! I especially like that you offer menu ideas for a week on your website – after 20+ years of cooking for the family, I’m tired of brainstorming meal plans. I will be buying one of your cookbooks now.
Hey Kate,
Fantastic! I appreciate you making this recipe and your comment! So glad it turned out well for you:) Thanks so much for your kind message! Have a great day! xT
We really loved this one! I found that when I used 2lb of chicken it took up 85% of the sheet pan, which meant I had to cut the amount of sweet potatoes. Next time I’ll just split between two sheet pans.
The tahini sauce is soooo good. Definitely make this!
Hi Sara,
Awesome!! Thanks a lot for trying this recipe and your feedback! Love to hear that it was enjoyed! xT
After a night of your Buffalo Chicken Chili, this was so called for!
A #1 delicious. Chicken had so much flavor and the sweet potatoes were like candy.
Added some salad greens and st up a “fixing’s bar” of f pickled veggies, olives, pickles and the spreads.
Had some of my daughter’s friends over (20somethings) and after, they spent the night combing through one of your cookbooks.
New fans!
Hi David,
Thanks so much for trying this recipe and sharing your comment! Love to hear that it turned out well! xT
I’ve been making your recipes for years, and every time I try a new one I think, “ lThis chick is a genius.” Your recipes are above all others. Thank you for existing, and for this amazing recipe. It is so damn good.
I can’t imagine how disappointing restaurants must be for you, because you simply make the best food there is.
Awe, thank you so much, Bethany:) I really appreciate you trying so many recipes and your comment! Hope you are having a great Sunday! xT
This recipe seems as if it will be tasty. It’s definitely worth a try and I shall be doing that in the coming week. Thank you very very much for posting a recipe whose title doesn’t contain so many nouns and adjectives. You finally didn’t scare me off!!!
Thanks so much Clara! I hope you love the recipe! Happy Friday! xT
Another fantastic HBH recipe. I forgot the feta and it was still fantastic. Thank you for another winner!!
Thanks so much Jill!!
How do you get the chicken to look so brown and crispy? I followed the recipe but mine just looked blah coming out of the oven.
Hi Andrea,
Thanks for giving the recipe a try! I would pop your chicken under the broiler for a bit to crisp it up! I hope this helps! xT
Seriously, yum! My picky guest said that this was her favorite meal we have served. Since I look at recipes as inspiration, of course, I made some adjustments due to lack of ingredients. I used fresh cherry tomatoes and didn’t have Tahiti. I made the pickled salad with chopped pickled green beans etc because I didn’t have pepperoncini. This recipe is very forgiving. I’m a fan of your recipies!
Hey Duan,
So glad to hear this! Thanks for making this dish and your comment! Have a great Thursday! xT
Hi there! What did you sub for tahini? I’ve been trying to find it at my local stores but can’t find it anywhere. I read almond butter could be substituted but I didn’t know if that would be ok with the flavor profile. Thank you!!!
What makes this street food inspired?
