Mediterranean Chicken Artichoke Zucchini Tray Bake – I love Greek food and this is one of my favourite Mediterranean inspired dishes.
Jump to Recipe
Mediterranean Chicken Artichoke Tray Bake uses boneless skinless chicken thighs, canned artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and red onion. One key ingredient that you cannot miss are the lemon slices. The lemon slices adds the citrus flavour that goes so well with the seasoning like thyme and oregano. I placed a lemon slice in each corner and one in the centre of the tray to give it a tangy punch. I love sprinkling crumbled feta cheese over it after baking. Sometimes a big dollop of humus makes it that Greek dream meal.
I love the colours in this dish and the different textures and shapes. Loving food means paying attention to the flavours, appeal, and ingredient quality. How good it smells right out of the oven should come naturally when you have prepared a tray of your favourite vegetables and meats.

I know I absolutely need to share my stove top potatoes recipe because it goes so well with this dish. It is simple to make and does not need to be baked to get the right tenderness of the potatoes.
