Say hello to this beautiful dinner! I am so excited to share this recipe with you. Mediterranean marinated chicken thighs are tucked onto a bed of lettuce with greek roasted potatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion and feta cheese. Top with tatziki and enjoy this healthy beautiful dinner!

I’m on a Mediterranean food kick and I’m not mad about it. I often make chicken schwarma – such a great dish! However, I wanted to switch things up a bit. Add more flavor, color and textures. I’m a huge fan of sun-dried tomatoes and I loved the idea of pairing them with mediterranean flavors. 

This dish couldn’t be any easier. Everything is roasted in the oven. Simply marinate, put on a rimmed baking sheet and let everything cook!

I love every part of this dish…the lemon chicken, the Greek roasted potatoes, the sweet roasted red onion & sun-dried tomatoes and finally…the warm feta cheese. Have you ever had warm feta cheese? Like the GOOD stuff, from Greece? It’s mind-blowing. When it’s warmed up, it milds the flavor a bit and it melts in your mouth. It’s just super delicious. Adding fresh dill and greens just enhances all the flavors and gives them a little bed to lay on! 

I could eat this weekly! It’s gorgeous, healthy and filling. ENJOY!

Prep Time 12 hours

Cook Time 30 minutes

Total Time 12 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 2.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 5 cloves of garlic, minced
• juice from 3 large lemons
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 7 ounce jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained
• chunks of good feta cheese (I used feta from goats milk)
• 1 large red onion, sliced
• container of greens
• Tzatziki (to make it easy, I use Cedar's brand)

Instructions

1. First, marinate the chicken for several hours. The longer it marinates the more flavor it will have. I suggest at least 4 hours. Simply combine the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, smoked paprika and oregano in a bowl and whisk to combine. Place chicken in a large bag or container and pour marinade all over. Refrigerate.
2. When you're ready to cook, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
3. Place chicken smooth side down (so top down) on a rimmed baking sheet along with the sliced red onion. Cook for 15 minutes then flip and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Turn oven to high broil and broil for 5 minutes, remove from oven, add sun-dried tomatoes and feta chunks and broil an additional 3-5 minutes until top of chicken is browned nicely.
4. Remove from oven, let cool slightly. Place chicken, some of the sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, feta chunks and potatoes on a bed of lettuce. Serve with tzatziki and enjoy!
