Ingredients

Greek Chicken and Potatoes

  • 1 lb. chicken breasts or chicken breast tenderloins, or chicken thighs (see notes)
  • 5 red potatoes
  • Tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Roasted Green Beans

Kalamata Olive Topping

  • 1 cup kalamata olives
  • 1 lemon for zest and juice
  • ½ cup feta cheese

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  • Do your prep work: Dice 5 red potatoes. Cut 1 lemon into 4 slices. Wash and trim 3 cups green beans and cut them in half.
    5 red potatoes, 1 lemon, 3 cups green beans

  • Add the baking sheet with the chicken and potatoes to the oven and bake for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, place the green beans in the oven as well.
  • Bake both sheets for another 25 minutes.
  • Cut 1 cup kalamata olives into pieces and place them in a small bowl. Add lemon zest and juice from 1 lemon and mix to combine.
    1 cup kalamata olives, 1 lemon
  • To serve, begin by plating potatoes, then topping with chicken. Add green beans to the side. Top with kalamata olive mix, then add ½ cup feta cheese. Garnish with a squeeze of lemon if desired.

Notes

  • If you want to use chicken breasts or tenderloins, the baking time is the same. However, if you're bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, the baking time will need to be increased by about 10-15 minutes. Delay adding the green beans for an additional 10 minutes and make sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer. See our Chicken Temperature Chart for more info.
  • You can use red or golden potatoes for this recipe, or even small potatoes, if you prefer.
  • Additional veggies may be added, or you can swap out the vegetables used in this recipe for whatever you prefer. Tomatoes, onions, and carrots all make great additions to this dish.
  • If you're not a fan of olives, they can be left out. I recommend still adding the lemon juice and zest for the flavor it adds.
  • I find roasted green beans to be the perfect side dish for sheet pan Greek chicken and potatoes, and preparing both at the same time is easy, but if you want to save yourself more cleanup, you can simply leave them out. The chicken and potatoes are delicious on their own, too!
