AN EASY, DELICIOUS ONE PAN MEAL

TIPS FOR MAKING SHEET PAN GREEK CHICKEN

I think what I love most about this recipe is that you are pretty much preparing everything ahead of time, so when it comes time for cooking, you can just dump it all onto the pan and pop it in the oven! Dinner is served. It's perfect for when you are having folks over and don't want to be spending time in the kitchen the entire time. It is also a really pretty meal! The tzaziki sauce is completely optional in this. I love to dip my potatoes and chicken in it but it is not absolutely necessary to make this dish delicious.

recipe for tzaziki sauce below

ingredients needed: baby potatoes, chicken breasts, olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, cilantro

HOW TO MAKE SHEET PAN GREEK CHICKEN MEAL:

Slice baby potatoes in half.

Place potatoes into a gallon-size ziploc bag and the chicken breasts in a separate gallon-size ziploc bag.

Prepare the marinade for both bags. In a bowl, mix together the lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, oregano, coriander salt and pepper. Whisk together well. Evenly distribute marinade into each bag. Slice half a lemon into slices and place them into the bag with the chicken. Squish the marinade around in the bags to make sure it is evenly distributed on the chicken and potatoes.
Place bags into the refrigerator and allow to marinate for at least 45 minutes.

Cook's Note: I have no problem marinating the chicken and potatoes together. They will all be cooked at a high enough temperature so I don't worry about cross-contamination. However, I know a lot of folks have concerns, so for this post I am showing how to marinate the two separately.

Prepare optional tzaziki sauce: In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, lemon juice, dill garlic, salt & pepper.
