This One Dish Chicken Feta Bake is gluten free, low carb, and high protein. If you’re looking for a quick, nutritious, and delicious meal that requires minimal effort, this is the perfect solution! Packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber, this dish comes together in under and hour with just a few ingredients.
Easy weeknight meals are a staple in my house. I love when I can make something once and have leftovers for other meals later in the week and bonus points if it doesn’t take a lot of effort or ingredients! That’s why one dish or one pan meals have always been a favorite. They’re so easy to customize, pack in vegetables and anything else on hand, change the flavor with different spices, and cook once to eat two or three more times!
Some of my easy dinners I’ve had on repeat are my Bell Pepper Nachos, Cozy Chicken and Vegetable Sheet Pan, and Creamy Cottage Cheese Pasta. But I will say, that after making this for the first time, this has taken the TOP spot of meals I make the most! The vegetables are roasted perfectly, chicken is tender and seasoned, and the melted feta adds the most delicious flavor. It’s a Mediterranean chicken bake that doubles as a comfort meal!
The other great thing about this is you can switch up the vegetables and use whatever you have on hand. If it’s the end of the week and you have extra vegetables that need to be used before they go bad, throw them in this dish and they’ll just take on the flavor of everything else. The more colors the better and it’s such an easy way to get that extra fiber in. This meal really is perfect for any day of the week – prep it at the beginning so it’s ready to reheat, the middle for when you need a break, or the end when you just need to use up what’s left in the fridge!
Why You’ll Love This
- Minimal effort – Just toss everything in the dish and let the oven do the work!
- Nutrient packed – We have a lot of fiber from the vegetables, healthy fats from the olive oil and feta, protein from the feta and chicken all in one dish.
- Meal prep friendly – Whether you’re making this for dinner one night and have the leftovers for later or are wanting to prep this ahead of time for easy meals to reheat throughout the week, this is a great option! Store in the fridge for up to four days in an air-tight container or in the freezer for longer.
- Dietary friendly – This is gluten free, low carb, high protein, and can be made dairy free with a feta alternative.
What You’ll Need
- Feta – I always look for organic because it’s higher quality, you can find this at most grocery stores. If you want this to be dairy free, you can use a vegan feta.
- Cherry tomatoes
- Asparagus
- Olive oil – Any neutral oil will work too, but olive oil really adds to the flavor of this dish.
- Sea salt & pepper
- Chicken breast
- Paprika
- Garlic powder
- Mayo – I prefer using an avocado oil mayo because the ingredients are simple and there’s no weird additives or sugars. Primal Kitchen or Chosen Foods are great options!
- Bone broth – You can use either homemade or store-bought for this, I prefer chicken since that’s what we’re using as our other protein source.
- Minced garlic – Either pre-minced or chop your own.
- Spinach
- Basil – I love including fresh basil in mine, it tastes so much better!
How To Make
- Preheat oven to 375F and lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with olive oil.
- Place the block of feta into the dish, add the cherry tomatoes, and asparagus.
- Drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper, and gently toss the vegetables so they are fully coated. Set the dish aside.
- In a large bowl, add chopped chicken, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, mayo, chicken bone broth, and mix until well combined.
- Add the chicken mixture onto the vegetables and feta, making sure to spread evenly.
- Bake for 40 minutes until roasted and feta has slightly melted.
- Add the garlic, spinach, basil, and stir everything together. Top with more basil and enjoy!
Recommended Tools
- 9×13 baking dish
