One Pan Roasted Greek Chicken ‘Salad’
This dinner is always on my rotation and it never disappoints. The easy breezy method of making this is also a bonus. You just have to mix and marinate. Then transfer to baking dish and throw it in the oven. Too freakin easy y’all.
ingredients:
Another really simple, fresh list of ingredients. And if you are missing something, it’s okay, just leave it out. I love using bone in skin on thighs or legs with this recipe. The olives are amazing, as are the artichokes. And the basics are the tomatoes, onions and LOTS of garlic! You just can’t go wrong.
marinade:
The marinade is super simple and delicious as hell. Base is of course olive oil, with some balsamic vinegar and apple cider vinegar. But the veggies all release their juices along with the chicken and this makes for the perfect combination of flavor. Don’t forget the fresh oregano and thyme.
You might want to add a little feta cheese at the end while serving, but in my opinion, it doesn’t need it. Was superbly delicious as is. You can serve with some rice, pita or Tsatziki sauce.

Hello there! Thank you for the feedback! I’m happy you all enjoyed!
can you do this in a crockpot? I have a turkey breast that I need to cook and this looks fantastic!
Is the nutrition info for each serving or the whole dish?
So good and simple! I wanted more veggies so I added zucchini to the mix. I served with rice and lentils. Topped with a little feta and tzatziki.
This has become one of my favourite dishes to make! Super easy and so much flavour. I paired it with twice baked potatoes 😊 thank you!
Hi Stephanie! NICE – i am so happy you like it and thank you for trying the recipe!!
When making with chicken breast I know you said to reduce time to 35-40 minutes covered. Do I also cook it uncovered? If so how long? Want to make this for family traveling home.
Are the olives a necessity as neither my husband or I are fans
Hi Leslie! Definitely leave em out if you’re both adverse… will still be amazing!
I cannot wait to make this. Have you made it with boneless chicken breasts? My kids are picky about their chicken.
Hi LIz, YES, just decrease the cook time to 35-40 minutes. Enjoy!!
Hi Stella –
Making this tonight! For chicken breasts, is it 35-40 mins at 450 and THEN another 15 mins uncovered, or just 35-40 mins?
Also – what type of rice do you like to serve this with? I have jasmine, basmati, I also have lots of rice pilaf boxes.
My family only likes white meat, does that work with this salad?
Hi Joan, Yes, will work, just less cook time, like 35-40 minutes.
Phenomenal!!!!!
Hi Maura! Thank you for the feedback! and im super glad you liked the dish!
How would this work in a crockpot? I would love to come home to this after work. 😬. Thank you!
Did something go wrong with the calories/nutrition at the end? Not dividing by enough servings, maybe? Thanks!
Maybe, I will take a look!
I wondered the same thing. 949 calories for 1 serving? Made this tonight, it was great! Thank you!
Hi Lea, I am no nutritionist lol i just plug in the ingredients, amounts and how many servings. I employ a service to calculate the nutritional info. I’m guessing its all the olive oil… I’m VERY happy you enjoyed the meal tho <3
Hi there, is the nutrition info / macros for the whole dish? Or per serving? Great recipe by the way!
Should you drain the artichokes?
Hi Gabby, it’s Stella. Yes drain the artichokes from their liquids. Enjoy the dish!
Artichokes in can or in a jar?
Hi Jamie! either one work. I used marinated from a jar in this recipe though.
It’s so delicious!! Definitely I will
Cook it again!!
