Bringing you all some springtime vibes with this Sheet Pan Lemon Rosemary Dijon Chicken and Potatoes with Feta Goddess Sauce. Lemon, rosemary and Dijon marinated chicken roasted alongside sesame-crusted potatoes and spring asparagus. Topped with a creamy garlicky feta goddess sauce and any herbs you can find. This is quick, easy, extra colorful, super flavorful, and so delicious. The perfect dinner to serve any night of the week. Promise this is not your average sheet pan dinner. It’s so DELICIOUS and the leftovers make for an awesome lunch the following day.
Happy (Easter) Monday! Hoping you all had a great Easter Sunday and enjoyed some delicious food, had fun cooking and baking, and all-in-all just relaxed a bit. It’s weird, this past month has felt almost as though we’ve traveled back in time to fall. With the world being in self-isolation, it’s felt like much more of a cozy comfort food kind of time, versus a light-fresh spring eats kind of time. Wouldn’t you agree?
You all know I love cozy comfort food more than anything. But with Easter already behind us, and a taste of spring weather this past week (we’re now back to snow with up to a foot expected today), I’m ready for some actual spring recipes. That said, grocery store trips are limited. So I’m using what’s in my freezer, my pantry, and ordering fresh herbs online.
Enter this sheet pan lemon rosemary Dijon chicken. It looks like spring, and it tastes like spring, but somehow I put this together with ingredients I had on hand. Butcher Box chicken from the freezer, asparagus from the fridge, and potatoes plus mustard from the pantry. Technically, not all are “pantry staples”, but close to it, as least for me.
I gotta say, I’m pretty happy that I’ve been able to pull off so many new recipes with very few grocery store trips. I think I’ve picked up a new skill…
We will see how long it lasts once things get back to normal. But I’m trying to have fun with this new challenge and be creative.
Start off by marinating the chicken in a Dijon mustard, garlic, and lemon marinade. The mustard not only helps to tenderize the chicken but adds a savory flavor that I love when paired with lemon and rosemary. Since working with my pantry staples, I’ve been using mustard to really help add flavor to recipes.
While the chicken is marinating, start roasting the potatoes. I find these take a little longer to cook than the chicken, so I like to give them a head
start. The potatoes are tossed with raw sesame seeds, salt, and pepper. You can, of course, omit the sesame seeds, but I enjoy the flavor and slight crunch they add.
Once the potatoes have been roasting for a bit, slide them to one side of the pan. Then add the chicken and toss on some asparagus too. I love the idea of an all-in-one dinner, so I want to be sure to not only include potatoes, but also something green.
Return the pan to the oven, and roast some more. As the chicken roasts your kitchen is going to fill with lemony, garlicky scents and hints of rosemary too.
As you might expect, I couldn’t share this recipe without including a sauce. You all know how it goes around here, never enough sauce. Enter my feta “goddess” sauce. It’s whipped feta cheese, with a bit of yogurt, lemon, and whatever herbs you have on hand or love the most.
The salty feta creates an addicting sauce. Every spoonful is delicious, but it’s especially great over this dijon chicken.
Once the chicken comes out of the oven, serve it up alongside the roasted potatoes and asparagus. If you have some fresh herbs or greens on hand, toss on some of those. If not, no worries, just drizzle on the feta sauce and enjoy.
Simple, easy, healthy, and delicious.
Love the idea of this sheet pan dinner as a Monday night dinner. But honestly, it’s great any night of the week.
When it comes to ingredient substitutes, there are so many for this recipe. If you don’t have fresh herbs, use dried. The garlic and shallots can be replaced with garlic powder and onion powder.
For the asparagus, really any vegetable works here. Broccoli or brussels sprouts would be my next picks, but cauliflower, carrots, and bell peppers could all be great!
The ingredients you NEED…chicken, Dijon, and potatoes. If you have these three things you can create something delicious no matter what. So with that, raid your freezer, search the fridge for your dying vegetables, and rummage through the pantry for herbs and spices. Then make this sheet pan Dijon chicken…trust me, it will make your night.

Hey Annie,

The sauce needed liquid to come out the consistency you showed. Also the chicken took way longer than 20 min…
Hey Anne,
So sorry you had difficulties, the lemon juice should give you enough liquid for the sauce and the chicken should take between 20-25 minutes, unless you are using bone in chicken then yes it will need to cook longer. Let me know if I can help you in anyway! Happy Friday! xTieghan
Nothing about this recipe seemed crazy, but oh my god,, the flavor combos had us licking our plates! It was incredible! Definitely making this routinely!
Hey Lauren,

This was so delish! I made wayyyyy too much sauce and used it on everything. We had chicken quesadillas with the leftover chicken doused in sauce and used it as salad dressing too. Great recipe!
Hey Lauren,

This was delicious and so easy to make! I did not have yogurt so I used sour cream instead and left out the lemon juice. Yum!

My whole family loved it, now I’m going to have to make this at least once a month! I subbed feta for goat cheese and the sauce was still great 🙂

Can I use Dill with the basil?
Hey Susan,
Sure, dill would be great! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you give it a try! xTieghan
Made this last night and it was delicious! The sauce is amazing – I kept spooning more on my plate to dip the potatoes into! My husband and I were lucky enough to travel to Greece for our honeymoon and the feta made us feel like we were back 🙂
