Mediterranean Chicken Recipe With Potato Wedges
The flavors in this Mediterranean chicken recipe are perfectly balanced. The tangy lemon butter, aromatic herbs, salty feta cheese, and sweet sun-dried tomatoes combine beautifully with hearty wedge potatoes, all baked on a single sheet pan for effortless cleanup. As a hypothyroid woman post-thyroidectomy, I appreciate Mediterranean food for its support in weight management—it’s a lifesaver! With 31 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber, this dish keeps me feeling full and helps curb overeating, which is crucial because my thyroid medication increases my appetite. Managing my diet is a constant challenge, but meals like this make it a little easier.
Here’s why I love this Mediterranean Chicken Recipe With Potato Wedges!
- Made in one pan for easy clean-up.
- Minimal effort gives you a high-protein and fairly high-fiber meal.
- But the best part about this recipe is my family loved it.

Mediterranean Chicken Recipe with Potato Wedges
Ingredients
- 1 lb potatoes (cut into wedges (russet or yukon gold))
- 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, and oregano, chopped)
- 4 tablespoon butter (melted)
- 3 tablespoon lemon juice
- zest of 1 lemon
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- ½ cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (roughly chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, toss 1 lb potatoes, cut into wedges, with 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and half of your chopped herbs. Spread the potatoes in a large baking dish or sheet pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
- While the potatoe are baking, in a small bowl, mix 4 tablespoon butter, 3 tablespoon lemon juice, zest of 1 lemon, 4 garlic cloves (minced), and 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Butterfly 2 large chicken breasts. Season with 2 tablespoon fresh herbs, salt and pepper. When the 20 minutes is done, place the seasoned chicken pieces on top of the potatoes.

- When the chicken and potatoes are nearly done, remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle ½ cup feta cheese and ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes over everything, and drizzle the remaining lemon garlic butter sauce on top. Return to the oven for 5-10 more minutes until the feta is slightly melted and the chicken is golden.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and a squeeze of extra lemon juice if desired.
