Ingredients

  • ▢ 2 pounds chicken breast strips
  • ▢ 2 pounds young or baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • ▢ 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • ▢ 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • ▢ 2 tablespoons Za'atar
  • ▢ 1 lemon cut into wedges and juiced
  • ▢ 1 large red onion cut into wedges
  • ▢ 3 garlic cloves sliced or minced
  • ▢ 4 oz feta cheese crumbled
  • ▢ 2 fresh rosemary sprigs stem removed and roughly chopped
Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large sheet pan, combine 4 tablespoon olive oil, the juice from the lemon wedges, 2 tablespoon Za'atar, and 2 teaspoon sea salt.
Add the 2lbs chicken strips, 2lbs cut potatoes, sliced red onion, lemon wedges, and 3 sliced garlic cloves, and give everything a good mix.
Place the tray in the oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with 4 oz crumbled feta and chopped fresh rosemary. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are golden.
Tips
  • I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a low-fat meal, but use boneless, skinless thighs instead if you are a dark meat fan.
  • You can use any potatoes you have on hand; make sure to cut or slice them to a similar or smaller size as your chicken to ensure even cooking.
  • According to the Food Safety Site, the chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165F.
  • Line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleaning.
  • Lightly cover the pan with aluminum foil to speed up cooking while preventing it from drying out. Remove for the last 15 minutes of roasting.
  • You can easily turn this dish into meal prep.
  • Storage:
  • Store any leftovers into airtight containers, and you have lunch for the next few days! Or mix with brown rice or quinoa to stretch the meal even further.
