Greek Sheet Pan Chicken and Potatoes, with red onions, feta, dill, and dollops of tzatziki—weeknight dinners just got a whole lot more (effortlessly) delish!
Happy Tuesday, babes!
This past weekend didn’t go exactly how I imagined. I had a couple of shoots lined-up, but our little dude was fighting off a cold. Instead, we spent the weekend in bed, chatting about his birthday party themes and (thankfully) got this recipe written up.
Talking about his party ideas made me realize that we’ve done 5 train related themes.
5, people!
And with no surprise, we’re planning yet another one. So far, the lead contenders are Rainbow Train, Dinosaur Train, and Ghost Train. We’ll see when we make it to July, his final decision. My prediction? A new theme that he’ll come up with last minute. Wish me luck! ?
Ok, ok. Greek Sheet Pan Chicken and Potatoes…Let’s roll!
I’d like to think that sheet pan dinners were created by super exhausted moms who needed to get sh*t done but wanted to provide a healthy meal instead of ordering takeout. Said dinner, would also be effortless and whipped up while running on auto-pilot. Please, don’t burst my bubble if my theory is incorrect. Let a girl live, ok?
Well, I can confirm that this is exactly how this recipe came to be!
It’s simple and has those delish greek flavours I love. Feta adds the perfect saltiness and Tzatziki with all its creamy, garlicky glory. The buttery taste of potatoes along with the crunch and caramelization of the red onions. Juicy chicken packed with a punch of lemon and dill. Serve it with a quick tomato and red pepper salad, and you’re good to go. Shall I continue? I feel like I’m slaying the week with this one-pan dinner and it’s only Tuesday!
