One Pan Greek Chicken and Potatoes (Minimal Effort, Maximum Dinner)

Some nights you want a homemade dinner.
Some nights you also don’t want to destroy the kitchen making it.

That’s where this One-Pan Greek Chicken and Potatoes comes in. It’s lemony, buttery, packed with flavor, and somehow feels like a real dinner without turning into a whole event. Everything cooks together in one pan—crispy potatoes, juicy chicken, feta, Greek dressing—and the cleanup doesn’t make you question your life choices afterward.

Honestly? That alone makes it worth making.

Step-by-Step Directions:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400º F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3: Arrange the chicken thighs and potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the Greek dressing evenly over the chicken and potatoes, tossing the potatoes lightly to coat. Top each chicken thigh with about ½ tablespoon of butter.

Step 4: Before baking, add a tab of butter to each chicken thigh. (Approx. ½ Tbsp).

Step 5: Bake for 35–50 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the potatoes are fork-tender. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the chicken thighs and potatoes. To ensure the potatoes are cooked, insert a fork into them to check they are tender and have a light, crispy texture on the outside.

Step 6: In the last 2 minutes of baking, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the chicken and potatoes.

🍋 Simply Made Suggestions …

  • Let it get golden. That browning on the chicken adds flavor, so don’t rush it.
  • Give everything some room. Crowding the pan traps steam instead of letting the chicken and potatoes roast.
  • Use what potatoes you have. Baby potatoes are easy, but chopped yellow potatoes work just as well. Cut them into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
  • Finish with fresh lemon. A squeeze right before serving brightens up the chicken, potatoes, and feta.
