Easy Weeknight Greek Chicken Bake – a one-pan dinner that you will want to make again and again! (Whole30)
Raise your hand if you are all about having a handful of super easy, no-thought-needed, one pan dinners that you know you can always throw together! Me!
I have always been a fan of Greek flavors – (one of my favorite comfort food recipes (that I enjoy very rarely during my own food freedom) is this Warm Greek Pasta recipe) – so I knew I wanted to make one that was Whole30-friendly. All I can say, is this came together absolutely perfectly and the flavors are everything I dreamed they would be.
What I also love about this recipe is that you can really do so many things with it. Eat is as-is for a quick and easy protein-packed dinner; toss it on top of your favorite greens and make an epic Whole30 Greek Salad; or if you are not doing a Whole30 currently and want to toss a little feta cheese on top (even being allergic to dairy, feta doesn’t seem to bother me too badly). Do whatever works best for you!
I love recipes that take all day and are super complicated, but during the week I sometimes just need a good one-pan dinner to get me through!
Or, if you are feeling like a little Feta….
Hope you guys are having a good week!

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!
