Easy Greek Chicken Bake

This easy to make Greek Chicken Bake is loaded with all the Greek flavors everyone around the dinner table will love. In just under 30 minutes, you have a meal that is gluten-free, dairy-free and Whole 30 compliant.

As a child in my local community each May there was Greek Fest. I remember during the cold winter months looking forward to this springtime event every year. Personally, while I’m not of Greek decent, I’ve always been drawn to the food of the culture. This easy Greek Chicken Bake takes me back to childhood and my youth enjoying all the Greek food. The spices in this dish are that in traditional Greek culture. This meal comes together very easily as a perfect weeknight meal or great lunch recipe to take to work. Along with the flavors the cherry tomatoes, potatoes, onions, olives, artichokes, pepperoncini and juicy chicken thighs will have this dinner become apart of your meal rotation.

What I Love About This Recipe

• Flavors– the oregano, thyme and garlic blend so well together along with all the vegetables and chicken giving this dish the perfect Greek flare.
• One pan meal– the simplicity of this recipe is great for those nights you want something with lots of flavor but short on time. This bake literally takes 30 total to assemble and cook. This could also be a great date night in option or a meal to take to a friend.
• Variety– there are several wholesome vegetables in here that I don’t normally eat like artichokes or pepperoncini. However, you could also customize to your exact liking adding in whatever vegetables you enjoy.

Substitutions + Variations

• Chicken– if not wanting to use chicken thighs or not available, chicken breast work as a perfect option.
• Potatoes– the recipe calls for Yukon gold but russet or even sweet potatoes can be used.
• Vegetables– this dish includes some of the best traditional Greek vegetables- red onion, olives, cherry tomatoes, pepperoncini but you can omit or add to the dish.
• Cheese– if not concerned with dairy, sprinkle some feta cheese over top after taking out of the oven.

Can I Prep Ahead of Time?

Sure, this is an easy meal prep option. Just place all ingredients in the pan and heat in the oven when ready. This also is a great freezer meal option as you can prep all ingredients, seal into a freezer bag then take out and heat when needed.

What To Serve With Greek Chicken Bake

Our family loves to add a small side salad with this meal. You could also try this low carb cilantro-lime cauliflower rice. Other options if not whole 30 or paleo would be a side of quinoa, couscous or rice.
