The easiest Greek chicken marinade
If you've spent any time on this website, you'll know that I love easy to make and healthy recipes. With a three-year-old girl to chase after all day, I need to keep my life in the kitchen simple. That's where Summer Fresh comes to my rescue.
They have a whole line of dips, hummus, salads, and snacks that are made in small batches using real ingredients. And every dip that I've tried tastes amazing. I even used their Extra Thick Tzatziki in the insanely popular Tzatziki Avocado Salmon Rolls recipe.
This time, I've taken Summer Fresh Tzatziki and turned it into a Greek chicken marinade. With a few big spoonfuls of tzatziki, a little olive oil, and some salt and pepper, you'll have a delicious marinade for your chicken.
Make this Greek chicken a family-friendly recipe
You might have noticed that there are only 2 chicken breasts and a whole pile of veggies in this recipe. I'll be the first to admit that we like to fill up on a lot of vegetables. To feed a hungry family, you can easily add 2 extra chicken breasts and simply double the marinade ingredients. You'll need 1/2 cup of Summer Fresh Tzatziki, 2 teaspoons of olive oil, and 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper.
If the people at your dinner table will be happier if there are some carbs on the table, I've got a few ideas. Smoky Roast Potatoes go well with tzatziki chicken and can be roasted in the oven along with the chicken. Just pop them into the oven about 20 minutes before the chicken goes in. A simple pot of rice or orzo with a squeeze of lemon juice over the top is nice, too.
How to make chicken tzatziki
Luckily for us, chicken tzatziki is easy to make. Once you've gathered your ingredients, here's what you'll do:
- Toss a couple of chicken breasts with some Summer Fresh Tzatziki, olive oil, salt, and pepper and set them aside to marinate while you cut up the veggies.
- Once you've chopped your veggies, toss them with some oil and a few spices then spread them out on a baking sheet.
- Now all you have to do is nestle the tzatziki marinated chicken into the veggies and bake everything for 18 minutes.
See how easy that was? I like to serve this dinner with some extra Summer Fresh Tzatziki on the side as a dip for the chicken and veggies.
Make Greek sheet pan chicken thighs
If you'd rather use chicken thighs, here's how to do it:
Use boneless chicken thighs: Use 4 boneless chicken thighs. Cook the veggies for 8 minutes then add the 4 boneless chicken thighs to the baking sheet and cook for another 10 minutes.
Use bone-in chicken thighs: Use 4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin on or off, your choice. Start by cooking the bone-in chicken thighs for 20 minutes. Add the veggies to the baking sheet and continue to cook for another 20 minutes.
Why chicken sheet pan dinner is the best
When I'm not recipe testing the recipes I share here, 99% of the time I'm making a chicken sheet pan dinner for my family. They are fuss free, make minimal dishes, and always go over well. You can load up on the veggies using whatever you have available in your fridge, choose your favorite cut of chicken, and add some potatoes or sweet potatoes to make a more filling meal. In other words, they're the best.
Even this tzatziki chicken is highly versatile. Use chicken thighs or even drumsticks instead of chicken breasts. Swap the Greek veggies for your favorite vegetables, or what you happen to have on hand. And if olives aren't your favorite, use salty capers instead or simply omit them.
With some Summer Fresh Tzatziki on hand, a winning dinner is only minutes away!

Do you have any tips on making this with a whole chicken?
I would make a basic roast chicken, adding the veggies to the roasting pan about half an hour before the bird is cooked. Then serve the tzatziki on the side.
So delicious. This will be added to our keeper recipes and will be made often. My first experience with dried rosemary. I made my own tzatziki and it worked out well.
This sheet pan meal is one of my new favorites! I’ve made it 4 times already (the whole family loves it and keeps requesting it!) I added a little spice to my tzatziki dip for a little extra kick (we like things on the spicier side)!
Thanks for sharing!
Haven’t tried it yet, but I am putting it back into the oven for a third round of 10 minutes since the boneless chicken thighs are still not cooked. Meanwhile veggies are way overdone. Wish I had cooked the chicken separately. ☹️
This recipe actually calls for chicken breasts, which take longer to cook than thighs. I would recommend checking your meat-thermometer as boneless chicken thighs should have been well cooked by the 20 minute mark.
This looks delicious. Are the herb measurements for fresh or dried? I would definitely want to use fresh.
I used dry herbs but you could definitely use fresh. Just double them up. 🙂
I was looking for a chicken recipe for the whole family and I stumbled on this article. I read and followed the instructions carefully and I made it deliciously! Every member of my family is so happy! Thanks for this!
That makes me so happy to hear that everyone loved it! Hooray!!
This sheet pan tzatziki chicken looks so fresh and delicious! The veggies that you included here are some of my very favorites. The ease of a one-pan meal is so appealing especially during the summer months when you don’t want the “clean-Up” mess in the kitchen. Looking forward to making this. Thanks for sharing.
They’re the best kind, aren’t they? Less time cleaning up the better!
Love the twist: I have never thought of putting it all together and bake. Bravo 🙂
Thank you so much!
I’m such a fan of tzatziki chicken, especially when served up with a heaping amount of veggies (as you’ve done). Yum!
