Greek Sheet Pan Chicken and Potatoes with Quick Tzatziki

This Greek Sheet Pan Chicken and Potatoes with Quick Tzatziki is a flavor-packed, easy sheet pan meal, perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prepping! The chicken is marinated in a lemon garlic dill marinade, and then it gets roasted on a sheet pan with baby potatoes. I love to serve this meal with a pile of arugula, fresh mint, feta, red onion, cherry tomatoes, lemon, and a generous scoop of tzatziki!

  • zest of 1 lemon
  • juice of 2 lemons
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (preferably 2% or full-fat)*
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • pinch of red pepper flakes

For the potatoes

  • 1 pound baby yellow potatoes (about 1'' in diameter)*
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

For the quick tzatziki

  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (preferably 2% or full-fat)*
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 3/4 cup finely diced seedless cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

For the toppings/bowls

  • baby arugula
  • fresh mint
  • fresh oregano
  • crumbled feta
  • thinly sliced red onion
  • halved cherry tomatoes
  • lemon wedges

Instructions

For the sheet pan chicken and potatoes

  1. Begin by marinating the chicken. In a medium glass or plastic bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, Greek yogurt, garlic, dill, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add the chicken and toss to coat, making sure all pieces are thorougly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge. Marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours. (Make sure you let chicken come down to room temperature a little bit before baking if you marinate it overnight.)

  2. Preheat oven to 400℉. Add potatoes to one side of a large, rimmed baking sheet. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss to coat. Place the chicken on the other side of the baking sheet, shaking off any excess marinade. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the chicken and shake around the potatoes, and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and golden brown, and chicken is cooked through. While the potatoes are still hot, season with a couple pinches of salt.

  3. To serve, plate your chicken and potatoes with a couple handfuls of arugula, torn fresh mint and oregano, a handful of crumbled feta, thinly sliced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, a lemon wedge, and the quick tzatziki sauce.

For the quick tzatziki

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and red wine vinegar. Add the cucumber, chopped dill, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Season to taste with additional salt and freshly cracked black pepper if desired.

Recipe Notes

*I like to use 2% or full-fat Greek yogurt because it's much creamier, richer, and more flavorful than the 0% milk fat stuff. That being said, I have used 0% in a pinch and it's still really delicious.
*If you can't find baby yellow potatoes, you can use yukon gold or red potatoes - just make sure you chop them into 1'' cubes to ensure baking time will be the same.
*Extra tzatziki will keep in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
