Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped oregano
  • 2 teaspoons smoked or regular paprika
  • 6 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • Chili flakes, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup mixed chopped fresh herbs (dill, basil, or thyme)
  • 2 tablespoons sliced pepperoncini
  • 1 cup green olives, torn
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • Feta Sauce:
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce
  • 6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

2. On a baking sheet, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper.

3. In a bowl, toss together 2 tablespoons olive oil, the chicken, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, oregano, paprika, garlic, shallot, salt, pepper, and chili flakes.

4. Nestle the seasoned chicken around the potatoes on the baking sheet.

5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

6. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil with the lemon juice, chopped fresh herbs, pepperoncini, olives, and sesame seeds.

7. In another bowl, combine the tzatziki sauce and crumbled feta cheese to make the feta sauce.

8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spoon the herby olive mixture over the chicken.

9. Serve the chicken and potatoes with the feta sauce on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

You can use chicken thighs for extra juiciness or chicken breasts for a leaner option.

This dish is great served with warm pita or a simple side salad.

For extra crunch, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking time.
