The Secret to the BEST Greek Chicken 🍗✨
The key to this One Pan Greek Chicken Bake is the marinade. If you’ve ever had dry, bland chicken, you’ll love how this marinade locks in moisture and infuses the meat with incredible flavour. Here’s what makes it special:
🧄 Garlic: Essential for that bold Greek taste!
🍋 Lemon juice & zest: Adds a bright, tangy kick and helps tenderise the chicken.
🌿 Dried oregano: A classic Greek herb that brings an earthy depth.
🥄 Olive oil: Keeps everything moist and helps the marinade cling to the chicken.
🧂 Salt & pepper: The must-have seasonings for enhancing all the other flavours.
Pro Tip: Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, but if you have time, overnight is even better!
The Perfect Veggie Combo 🥗
What makes this One Pan Greek Chicken Bake so special is the mix of roasted vegetables. They soak up all the delicious juices from the chicken and turn beautifully caramelised in the oven.
🥕 Pumpkin – Adds a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with the savoury marinade.
🥒 Zucchini – Softens in the oven, adding a nice contrast to the firmer veggies.
🌶️ Capsicum (red, yellow, or green) – Adds sweetness and a slight crunch.
🧅 Red onion – Roasts beautifully, becoming soft and slightly sweet.
🍅 Cherry tomatoes – Burst with juiciness and add a pop of freshness.
Tip: Cut the veggies into similar sizes so they roast evenly. If you like them extra caramelised, spread them out on the tray so they aren’t overcrowded!
How to Serve & Pair This Dish 🍷
This One Pan Greek Chicken Bake is fantastic on its own, but if you want to take it up a notch, try these serving ideas:
🥖 With warm pita bread – Use it to scoop up all the delicious juices!
🍚 Over rice or quinoa – A great way to make it even more filling.
🥗 With a fresh Greek salad – Cucumber, olives, tomato, and fetta = the perfect match!
🧄 With tzatziki on the side – That cool, creamy goodness takes this meal over the top!
For drinks, a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a light Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with the lemony, herby flavours of the chicken. 🍷
