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!
