Who is hungry for some oven baked chicken?

I really hope you just raised your hand almost to the ceiling, because that’s pretty much how excited I am to share this recipe today!

How this recipe works

Anyway, what I love most about this recipe for baked chicken is that it’s not just yummy to eat but also pretty healthy!

There’s heart-healthy olive oil, a whole bunch of roasted veggies, more good fats from the olives and protein from the chicken and the feta cheese.

Yes, chicken breasts would be even healthier, but I like to enjoy a bit of variety and breasts dry out a lot quicker in the oven than wings (unless you bury them under all the good things).

There is a bit of peeling and chopping involved in this recipe, but everything can be left rather chunky so it doesn’t take an awful lot of time.

Recipe tips and tricks

If you cut your veggies too small they will turn out mushy and overcooked, so don’t be afraid to be a bit lazy with your knife skills here.

Stirring around the vegetables after half the baking time ensures that they don’t burn on the edges and that they are evenly coated in the delicious sauce that forms.

I prefer to add the Feta cheese after baking, but you could add it after the initial 20 minutes with the lemon, olives and anchovy if you prefer. Do make sure to discard the lemon before serving, as the flesh will become bitter in the oven.

Other than that this recipe is really easy-peasy! If you try it I’m sure it will win a spot in your chicken recipes folder.

Serving ideas

This recipe really doesn’t need much else! If you have big eaters, you may want to add a homemade bread or a Greek orzo salad on the side.

I also enjoy serving a salad on the side. Both a traditional Shopska salad or a tomato cucumber salad are delicious!

Difficulty Easy
Servings 4 servings
Nutrition 579 kcal

Ingredients
 

  • 2 pounds small waxy potatoes peeled and halved, depending on how much your family eats
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper cut into chunks
  • 1 large red bell pepper cut into chunks
  • 2 large red onions halved and then cut into large chunks
  • 1 pound chicken pieces I used large chicken wings
  • 1 medium lemon sliced
  • 3 ounces black Kalamata olives or whatever black olives you can find
  • 3 pieces anchovy filets torn (optional)
  • 3 ounces feta cheese crumbled

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 430°F (220°C) (or 390°F (200°C) convection).
  • Place the potatoes on a deep sheet pan and toss them with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon dried thyme and ½ teaspoon ground paprika.
  • Add the vegetables and chicken pieces, then toss everything with the remaining seasoning. Make sure to really rub the seasoning and oil into the chicken, that way you’ll ensure tender meat and a crispy and flavourful skin. Arrange the chicken pieces on top of the vegetables and potatoes and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the tray from the oven and stick the lemon slices in between the chicken pieces. Scatter the olives and anchovy filets on top, if using, and finish baking for another 20-25 minutes until the chicken is browned and crispy and cooked through all the way.
  • Discard the lemon and serve immediately topped with crumbled feta cheese.

Notes

I do not recommend eating the lemon, as it turns bitter when cooked. It does give the dish a lovely flavor though, so don’t leave them out. Just discard them after baking.
We love anchovies, but the recipe turns out just as well without them if you or your kids aren’t big fans.
I tried this both in a normal and in a convection oven and the recipe worked well in both. Just note the difference in temperature settings in the recipe! I did find that on the convection setting I had to switch on the grill for the last five minutes to really get the chicken skin to crisp up.

    I absolutely love Greek flavors and the ease of one-pan meals, so I tried this tonight! I wasn’t sure how I would feel about chicken that I didn’t first sear, but it turned out wonderful! In fact, my husband said it was the most tender chicken I’d ever made (aww!). Instead of chicken pieces, I used three large chicken breasts that I cut in half.

    One change I made really had an impact on the flavor. Even though I seasoned this dish liberally, I still felt like something was missing. The recipe states that the lemon slices are to simply be discarded before serving, but I decided to go back and squeeze that roasted lemon goodness over the dish (especially over the chicken). It made a big difference in the flavor and gave me that brightness I was missing! YUM!

    I’ll definitely make this again, and will be sure the chicken gets that lemony love before serving.

    Highly recommended! I made this exactly as written BUT since using convection, shorten the 2 cooking times by about 5 minutes each. And I cut the potatoes in quarters and did not peel them. We all loved it. So easy!

    Delish! Used a combination of chicken breast and drum sticks and realized I didn’t have kalamata olives on hand so used black olives instead. Omitted the anchovies, but added 3 cloves of minced garlic, some dried oregano, and my 5 year old insisted we add brussle sprouts too. Overall, a really great dish – thanks for the recipe! I like the idea of adding artichoke hearts so I’ll do that next time.

    Made this last night and the entire family loved it. I threw in about 1/4 of the vinegar from the kalamata olives, which satisfied my wife’s obsession with all things brine. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

    I made this today for lunch (prepped some yesterday so we could eat sooner after church). I added grape tomatoes with the potatoes & veggies, used bite -sized pieces of chicken thigh, and added quartered artichoke hearts with the olives & anchovies. Served with tzatziki sauce and hummus. Very tasty. Thanks for the recipe!
