Greek Chicken + Potatoes in One Pan… Want a taste of Greece? Make this and you’re there!
One tray meals have always been a favourite of mine. Throwing a pan full of food in the oven, and letting the oven take care of dinner, is my kind of cooking, like this One Pan Lemon Garlic Baked Salmon + Asparagus. Or this Oven Fried Chicken with Broccoli.
When I make this Greek chicken and potatoes however, I almost always have a pot of soup on the stove to eat with it. Come to think of it, the Creamy Roasted Tomato Basil Soup would be incredible with this and I can’t believe I just thought of it NOW.
After enduring a Harry Potter marathon 3 times this week (as in, all 8 movies, 3 times each. Yes. Really. In one week), and watching those kids sit at those huge tables full of food, the one that caught my eye was the big fat pieces of chicken. I had no idea what was watching form that moment onwards. Chicken. Chicken. Chicken. So naturally, chicken for dinner. Every night. For one week.
You know what the best part is? Filling your fork with chicken, then an olive, then a piece of feta, then a piece of red onion, then a potato. Not necessarily in that order, but you know what I mean.
