One Pan Tzatziki Chicken

One pan Tzatziki Chicken and Potatoes is a delicious and more importantly, easy, weeknight dinner you can put together in a flash.

So let me talk with you here for a second about this Tzatziki Chicken.  Tzatziki is normally a dip that we bring to parties and baby showers. It’s usually made with cucumbers, herbs, garlic, lemons, etc. While it’s excellent in its own right,  the fact that the flavors can transfer to this chicken in such an incredible way is enough to make me smile. Corny, I know.. but so true. See, with the juiciness of the chicken, the slight tang of the lemon, and the “wave hello” from the garlic  – a fresh taste all mixed with the excellent blend of the herbs, …. well… it’s just a perfect pairing of all things wonderful. LOL.

Does it sound crazy to you? Tzatziki flavors on chicken? Well, my dear reader, it’s much akin to our other favorite- RANCH. So, while we all love how ranch flavors take certain foods (such as chicken) to a  whole new level, so does this special mix of flavors. And what’s even better?????? ….. ITS ALL IN ONE PAN. One pan dinners make it easier for us to go to our happy places. 🙂

This Tzatziki Chicken and Potatoes honestly can’t be any easier, and you know I’m all about the easy!  Marinate the chicken overnight in the seasonings, cut up a few baby potatoes, (if no baby potatoes, regular ones cut bite size will totally do), also seasoned with Tzatziki flavors, and all dumped onto a sheet pan for baking! Throw it in the oven, add a small side of something green if you want, and BOOM! Dinner’s done!

I used chicken thighs and legs because I happen to like those pieces of the bird, but you can use chicken breasts if you prefer. (Just adjust your cooking time – but I’ll make some notes down below for all that.). Easy peasy are the main words here!

So when you’re short on time, short on energy, short on .. well.. patience for life (we all have those days!) – this One Pan Tzatziki Chicken and Potatoes is the perfect “go to” for those moments. In fact, it’s so good at filling all those ‘checkmark boxes’ (taste, easy, quick, etc), that you might even decide to put it on the menu rotation because… well.. because you CAN. 🙂
