Get dinner on the table in no time and with only one pan when you serve this Mediterranean Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner!
Jump to:
I love a good one pan dish and with school back in session and after-school activities starting to add up, dinner often has to be no muss and no fuss, which is why this Mediterranean Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs meal is perfect for those crazy busy nights.
I know that Greek food may sound difficult, but these chicken thighs are really easy to make and even better to eat. It needs to marinate a bit though, so make sure you prep the night before. This is one of those meals you could definitely prep and store in a freezer bag in the freezer (just leave out the cheese and potatoes until you plan to cook and serve). The longer it marinates, the deeper the flavor will be.
🧂 Ingredients
There are only a handful of ingredients in this easy family dinner. You can make life super simple by using bottled Greek dressing. Of course, if you want to make your own dressing that's always an option too.
- Bottle of Greek Salad Dressing
- Feta Cheese
- Chicken Thighs
- Baby Potatoes
- Cherry Tomatoes
- English Cucumber
- Mediterranean Seasoning
I prefer to let the chicken marinate overnight, but you can let it marinate for a few hours. Either way, you will discover that marinating a chicken will leave the thighs super juicy as they cook. They only take about 30 minutes to cook!
How To Make A Sugar-Free/Low-Carb Greek Marinade:
If you are trying to eat keto or low carb, you can easily change this recipe by making your own Greek marinade. My favorite recipe is below:
- Juice of 1 Lemon
- ½ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Oregano
- 1 Tablespoon Rosemary
- 2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Coriander
- ½ Teaspoon Cumin
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
Whisk together the ingredients until combined.
This is one of those recipes that both the kids and the adults can agree on and honestly, it would be perfect for couples too!
One pan of Mediterranean Chicken would be perfect for a nice dinner at home and plenty of leftovers for lunches and dinners the rest of the week.
