Easy Weeknight Greek Chicken Bake – a one-pan dinner that you will want to make again and again!
One-pan dinners can be such a lifesaver!
Baked Greek Chicken
I am a serious fan of Greek flavors! I have this yummy Warm Greek Pasta recipe that I make every once in a while, but I wanted a recipe that had those same flavors, but was still paleo/whole30-friendly! You guys are going to absolutely LOVE this recipe – it is seriously easy to make and the flavor combination of the olives, artichoke hearts, garlic and chicken … so good!!!
Can I Prep this ahead of Time
Yes! You could totally get this set in a casserole (I would skip the olive oil though) the night before. When it is time to pop it in the oven I would drizzle with olive oil and season – then bake according to the directions! So easy!
Baked Greek Chicken Ingredients
- 4 Boneless chicken breasts (you can use bone-in, you just need to cook for an addition 20-30 minutes)
- 1/4 cup olive oil or avocado oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 3/4 -1 cup artichoke hearts (double check ingredients if doing Whole30)
- 1 cup of your favorite olives (I used a Mediterranean mix of green and kalamata olives)
- 6 small baby potatoes (I used Yukon gold), cut in half or quarters
- 6 whole garlic cloves
- Optional: any Greek seasoning you have (I like this one)
How to Store Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

Description
A one-pan chicken dinner that you will want to make again and again! (Whole30 + GF + DF)
Ingredients
- 4 Boneless chicken breasts (you can use bone-in, you just need to cook for an addition 20–30 minutes)
- 1/4 cup olive oil or avocado oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 3/4 –1 cup artichoke hearts (double check ingredients if doing Whole30)
- 1 cup of your favorite olives (I used a Mediterranean mix of green and kalamata olives)
- 6 small baby potatoes (I used Yukon gold), cut in half or quarters
- 6 whole garlic cloves
- Optional: any Greek seasoning you have (I like this one)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350
- Place chicken breasts in deep cooking pan.
- Pour olive oil over each breast and use your hands to rub down and and ensure they are fully covered.
- Season chicken with salt, pepper and any Greek seasoning you have.
- Place olives, garlic, tomatoes, potatoes and artichoke hearts around the chicken.
- Drizzle with a bit more olive and just a sprinkle of salt and Greek seasoning (if using) over everything.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes (for boneless chicken breasts) or until chicken has an internal temp of 165 degrees (use meat thermometer). If chicken has not reached an internal temp of 165, continue cooking for 5-10 minute increments until fully cooked.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- It still tastes amazing even if you don’t have any Greek seasoning! The combination of flavors of the other ingredients is so good!
- Make sure you are using smaller potatoes so they cook through in the timeframe given. If you only have large russet potatoes, just make sure you cut the down into very small chunks!

Made easy Greek Chicken Bake for my wife tonight. It was a big success! She has loved Mediterranean food ever since we visited Greece a few years ago. It was just like we were dining on the island of Santorini and it is so easy to make. Added plus, Mediterranean food is such a healthy food option.

I was looking for something easy and different from my pandemic dinner routine lately and this was so easy and hit the spot. I can’t recommend this enough and am already planning to make this again soon. Only modification was a little lemon juice squeezed on top before baking 🙂 Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this recipe!!! It’s become a go to. I’m totally beat and don’t feel like cooking on a Friday, but knowing all I have to do is get the ingredients into the sheet pan and into the oven and I’ll be eating Greek in 40 minutes is a life saver.

I made this meal last night and it was amazing!! I love artichokes and kalamata olives, but have never thought to bake them with chicken before. It was such a simple and delicious meal to make and is perfect for those nights that you don’t have a lot of time to cook a labor intensive meal. I’ve really enjoyed reading your blog and I can’t wait to make more of your recipes!
