Flavor-Packed Greek Chicken: Fresh Herbs & Bold Ingredients

The incredible flavor in this Greek chicken dinner comes from a vibrant blend of fresh herbs like rosemary and oregano. I also added garlic and a splash of balsamic vinegar, which perfectly balance the dish and elevate its taste. These ingredients truly make this skillet Greek chicken dinner spectacular—rich, aromatic, and bursting with Mediterranean goodness!

Mediterranean Veggies & Olives: The Heart of this Greek Chicken Dish

The fresh veggies in this chicken recipe are as Greek as it gets—red onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, and yellow potatoes. They cook in the flavorful juices and oils from the chicken, absorbing all that tasty goodness. For an extra burst of richness, I added plenty of tangy olives. It’s a dish packed with vibrant flavors and so much wholesome goodness in every bite!

Essential Toppings for the Perfect Greek Dinner

• Tzatziki: No Greek meal is complete without this chilled yogurt dip. Made with freshly grated cucumber, olive oil, fresh herbs (like mint or dill), garlic, lemon juice, and salt, tzatziki adds a refreshing, tangy kick. It’s a must-have!
• Feta Cheese: The salty, creamy bite of feta cheese ties everything together. Its distinct flavor brings balance and richness to the dish.
• Fresh Herbs: I swear by fresh herbs for flavor! I grow my own herb garden every year, and I find that nothing compares to the bright, fragrant taste of fresh herbs. The more, the better!
• Lemon Wedges: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the chicken, potatoes, and veggies brings a zesty, bright finish that elevates the whole dish.
• Gluten-Free Greek Cheese Bread: This Greek bread has a slightly crispy crust, while the interior remains soft, moist, and tender. It pairs so good with this chicken dinner.

How to Make This Flavorful Skillet Greek Chicken Dinner

This chicken dinner is a very simple Greek-style recipe. I like to start with roasting the potatoes. They take the longest to cook, and while the potatoes are cooking, you can finish everything else.

Step-by-Step: Preparing Your Skillet Greek Chicken Dinner

Start by tossing the potatoes with a splash of olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Then, scatter the potatoes onto a hot, rimmed baking sheet. The key here is that the baking sheet should be hot—this ensures the potatoes won’t stick and helps them crisp up nicely.

Cooking the Chicken and Veggies

First, toss bite-sized chicken pieces in olive oil, oregano, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add them to a large skillet and sear until cooked through. Once done, set the chicken aside.

Next, add the onions and bell peppers to the same skillet, using the flavorful juices left from the chicken. Cook for about three minutes—just enough for the veggies to start softening, but still with a bit of crunch.

Bringing It All Together

Add garlic, balsamic vinegar, and tomatoes to the skillet, cooking briefly until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.

Next, return the chicken to the skillet, along with the olives. Stir and cook until the chicken is heated through and infused with the delicious flavors of the veggies.

Finally, add the roasted potatoes and gently stir everything together. That’s it—simple and quick! Your entire Greek chicken dinner is ready in under thirty minutes. Just top it with tzatziki, feta, and fresh herbs, and you’re all set. So, so good!

Here is my special tzatziki recipe. (makes 1 1/3 cups)

• 1 cup full fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1/3 cup grated cucumber ( I used English cucumber, always remove the seeds first)
• 1 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 Tsp. Fresh lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 Tbsp. Chopped fresh mint
• Sea salt to taste

      Mix everything until combined

Nothing beats a freshly made tzatziki. The best part, it takes less than five minutes to whip up.
