Amazingly delicious and packed full of flavor, this greek chicken bake makes a quick and easy dinner you can put together in minutes!
I have been making this greek dip for a long time. It is one of my absolute favorite recipes because it is so so delicious, but really super healthy as far as dips go! Translated that means I get to eat twice as much dip and then sleep guilt-free! It is so good that my husband who doesn’t like pretty much any of the ingredients individually practically inhales the stuff once it is combined. Crazy huh?
The only thing better than eating this as an appetizer is if I could somehow incorporate it into dinner… so I did! I took all of the deliciousness I love from the dip and incorporated it into a super easy chicken bake recipe that really only takes a few ingredients and a few minutes to throw together. And it is GOOD! My whole family devours it. Even my pickiest… well once I convince him to take the first bite!
Easy Greek Chicken Bake Recipe
This recipe has 6 ingredients and comes together super quickly. First chop up the tomatoes, artichokes, and green onions and place them in a bowl. I usually chop them when I am preparing the meal, but if you work late, or want the meal to be even faster to throw in the oven, you can prep all of these the night before. Add the feta, olive oil and greek seasoning to the veggies and mix it all up.
Spray your baking dish with baking spray or rub the bottom with a little olive oil. Then lay your chicken breasts down. I use 3-4 breasts depending on the size. Since my family eats about 1/2 breast each, this will make 6-8 servings for us.
Next just spoon the veggie/feta mixture over the top and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle a bit more feta over the top and it is ready to go into the oven.
Bake the chicken for 40-50 minutes at 350˚ F or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is golden on top.
Oh the goodness! I love everything about taking this out of the oven. The golden top, the smell wafting toward the table, and the anticipation of digging in! While the chicken bakes I usually whip up some rice and serve the chicken right over the top with half a chicken breast and a big scoop of the absolutely delicious topping. You can also serve this over toasty pita for another great twist on this dinner. And IF you have any leftovers, you can reheat it or even better… chop it up and eat it as a wrap or pita for lunch the next day. You can even chop it up and scoop it over some greens for a really delicious salad. If you use enough of the juice and topping you won’t even need additional dressing. So good!

Could you this in a slow cooker or crockpot?

Made this last night. Quick and easy.The hardest part was waiting for it to cook. My wife gave it 4 forks up.

Sounds delicious! Has anyone made this adding olives and pepperoncini peppers? Just curious. Does sound good.

I haven’t used olives but have done capers and it was fantastic. I think you could add both beautifully!
Dana says

This is absolutely delicious, budget friendly, and so simple. Instead of the 1/4 cup of oil, I used some of the juice from the can of artichokes. Served with rice. Extremely flavorful. Love, love, love it!! Thanks SO much for sharing.
