Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place chicken and potatoes in a large bowl. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, paprika, oregano, garlic, black pepper, and chili flakes. Pour mixture over chicken and potatoes; toss to coat. Arrange chicken and potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken juices run clear and potatoes are tender, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center of chicken should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (35 minutes)

04

Step

Meanwhile, prepare the brine: In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons olive oil, olives, lemon juice, pepperoncini, basil, and dill. In a separate bowl, stir together tzatziki sauce and feta. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Remove chicken and potatoes from the oven. Divide onto serving plates. Drizzle with olive brine and top with tzatziki feta sauce. Serve immediately. (2 minutes)

For even crispier potatoes, parboil them for 5 minutes before tossing with the marinade.
Adjust the amount of red chili flakes to suit your spice preference.
Feel free to substitute chicken breasts for thighs, but be mindful of the cooking time to prevent them from drying out. Reduce baking time accordingly.
This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty bread for soaking up the delicious sauce.
