Description
A bright, flavorful one‑pan dinner featuring tender chicken and crispy roasted potatoes glazed in a lemon‑balsamic olive sauce and topped with a creamy tzatziki‑feta finish.
Ingredients
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 4 tbsp plus 1/3 cup extra‑virgin olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped oregano
- 2 tsp smoked or regular paprika
- 6 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 shallot, chopped
- Chili flakes, to taste
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup mixed chopped fresh herbs (dill, basil, or thyme)
- 2 tbsp sliced pepperoncini
- 1 cup green olives, torn
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- Feta Sauce: 1 cup tzatziki sauce; 6 oz crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 °F.
- On a baking sheet, toss the halved potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper.
- In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil with the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, oregano, paprika, garlic, shallot, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Add the chicken and coat thoroughly.
- Arrange the chicken among the potatoes on the baking sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil with lemon juice, fresh herbs, pepperoncini, olives, and sesame seeds in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the tzatziki sauce and crumbled feta to make the feta sauce.
- Remove the pan from the oven, spoon the olive‑herb mixture over the chicken and potatoes, and serve with the tzatziki‑feta sauce.
Notes
- If your potatoes are large, pre‑roast them for about 10 minutes before adding the chicken.
- Chicken thighs work just as well and may yield juicier results.
- Feel free to swap potatoes for summer vegetables like zucchini or cherry tomatoes.
