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.

What would you typically cover the pan with in the oven? Aluminum foil?
This is delicious! I made it tonight and served with a lemon green basmati rice. A big hit at my house!
Very good! Glad it was family approved! And thank you for the rating!1
I’m wondering if you can pour the contents of the bowl on to the baking pan filled with uncooked rice or orzo and they bake together . Can’t wait to make it . Love your recipes
Hi Patricia! Thanks and it sounds like a great idea to me! I haven’t tried it myself so I can’t report on specific measurements.. If you try it, please let us know what happens!
This makes a very delicious, juicy, chicken dinner. The dressing it made was so good. Didn’t have 4 hours to marinate, and it still came out good. I will make again. The ingredients would also be good with shrimp, and some small pasta like orzo.
Hi Sal, Thanks for taking the time to comment your tips and feedback! Glad you liked the dish!
If I’m cutting this recipe in half-do I keep the same temp (450) and cook time (50 mins)? Or do I shorten the cook time?
Hi Nicole, same temperature and time. The only time that changes is if you’re using boneless meat like chicken breasts. Then you would decrease only the time.
We used boneless skinless chicken thighs and didn’t marinate and it was still absolutely DELICIOUS! Saving this to make over and over again.
Hi –
How many people does this serve ? I didn’t see it on the recipe info .
Thank you !
I made this last week for me and my husband as I was looking for something new to try that’s also easy to make in the week and relatively low in calories as we both work so late and also work out. Needless to say it was absolutely delicious and my husband told me I can definitely make it again! Lol
Made a nice change from cooking the same stuff all the time!! Looking forward to trying some more of your recipes. Thanks
Hi Maria! Welcome! When everyone’s happy its always a good idea to repeat the dish lol! Especially when you’re both busy! Thank you for taking the time to comment and rate!
Hi there. This looks fantastic!! However my daughter in law can’t have chicken. Can I make with lamb instead?
So if I decide to do boneless, skinless thighs, would the cooking time change?
Hi Carol! Absolutely it would change to around half the time.. about 25-30 minutes
Love the site great recipes great tastes. Only one question: with nutritionals, how many servings? And I can’t seem to find servings each of the recipes is supposed to make. Thanks
Ο φαγητό είναι πολύ καλό. Μπράβο!
I made this when you posted it on Instagram and it is PHENOMENAL. I have drumsticks on deck today and wondered if the cooking time would change if I used those instead … thoughts?
Hi Hannah, sorry i’m getting this to you a few days late.. time should be about the same when using any bone in meat. Thank you for rating the recipe and I’m glad its a winner at your place!
I made your recipe the other day and it was amazing. I doubled my recipe so I could save some for leftovers. Double yum, also I used drumsticks and thighs. The recipe was very tasty now I have a new recipe to use then looking at your other recipes I’m ready to try those out. Thank you very much.
Just started following you and I am obsessed with your recipes and can’t wait to try them. One question, I see you garnishing some of your dips with green olives and this recipe has green olives as well. I’m not too familiar with green olives. When buying, are they just labeled “green” or do they have another name? Thanks!!!
Hi Rosalva! Welcome to the family! Glad you’re here!! I typically get my green olives at either Whole Foods, my local Greek store or my local Italian deli. If you read the label, most of them say: Product of Greece. The specific name of the ones from Whole Foods (those are my favorite) are: Divina Castelvetrano Olives. The brand is Divina and the type of olives is the latter. If you need me to send you a pic of the jar, feel free to DM me on IG. Enjoy!
I thought that an addition of anchovies would really bring this up to another level. love your recipes! or perhaps a squeeze of lemon as well?
Hi Ruth! I love that idea with the anchovies! Definitely level up! And thank you for the feedback!
I made this for my family and it was OUTRAGEOUS!! Only thing i don’t like is chicken thighs which i changed to chicken breast ..Even my cleaning girl wanted the recipe after i gave her the leftovers.. i love Greek food and i will be making most if anything all of her recipes!! Thank you for sharing them
Hi Dina! That’s so awesome that you loved the recipe! And I’m glad everyone got to try it!! Thank you for the kind feedback!
