Cooktop Cove: Simply the best one-pan Greek chicken and potatoes

By Audrey Michels

One-pan dinners are highly underrated. Whether a less-experienced cook is trying to impress, or a busy expert needs to meal-prep, this sheet pan Greek chicken and potatoes is ideal. Instead of preparing a meal and a side dish, do them both at once in one pan to ensure everything is perfectly timed and simple as can be.

The prep work takes only 10 minutes, and the results are delicious every time: fresh and citrus-y yet immensely satisfying. The leftovers also make a tasty lunch for tomorrow — if there are any.
