One-Pan Mediterranean-Inspired Chicken Bake

Here is a super simple weeknight dinner that feeds a family using one baking dish!! A delicious One-Pan Mediterranean-Inspired Chicken Bake! 

We all love those dishes that you can just toss in the oven and let the oven do the work– and this is definitely one of those recipes! Potatoes, artichokes, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, herbs and chicken all come together to make a well-rounded and satisfying dinner. I love all of these bright and earthy Mediterranean flavors and love how they marry together in the oven. 

In this One-Pan Mediterranean-Inspired Chicken Bake, I do use boneless, skinless chicken thighs here to prevent the chicken from drying out. You *can* use boneless, skinless chicken breast here— but just be mindful that chicken thighs work best in the oven and ensure you have juicy chicken!
