A simple midweek chicken dish, made with Tesco Cypriot New Potatoes, this Greek Chicken Traybake can be prepared in 10 minutes, making it perfect for busy days.

Greek Chicken Traybake with Cypriot New Potatoes

A couple of weeks ago I was offered the opportunity to review Tesco Cypriot New Potatoes – these creamy, earthy new potatoes are already in season in Cyprus, meaning new potatoes can be enjoyed even in the middle of our cold and rainy British winter!

These new potatoes are from the ‘spunta’ variety and are delicious boiled, steamed, roasted or even baked. Cypriot New Potatoes are available in Tesco stores nationwide from now until the end of March, both loose and in 750g packs.

I wanted to create a dish that captured the sunny, summery mood of Cyprus where these lovely new potatoes are from – a dish to take us all on a virtual summer holiday!

Now, regular readers of Easy Peasy Foodie will know how much I love traybakes – I love throwing some potatoes, vegetables and meat into a tray – popping it in the oven and letting the oven do the work of transforming these ingredients into something wonderful.

Greek Chicken Traybake with Cypriot New Potatoes

Well, I have had the idea of doing a Greek-style chicken traybake for a little while – I’ve done a Greek-style lamb traybake before, but I’ve never tried to create a chicken version – until now. I felt this would be the perfect opportunity to try out the idea!

Greek Chicken Traybake with Cypriot New Potatoes

I often use new potatoes in traybakes and knew this would be a great way to show off the delicious flavour and texture of Tesco Cypriot New Potatoes. New potatoes work really well in traybakes as they don’t need any par boiling and they cook quickly – in about 40-50 minutes depending on how small you cut them and how hot your oven is.

Roasting them in the oven really concentrates the flavours giving that delicious roast potato flavour, plus cooking them with the chicken means they absorb all those lovely chicken juices – kind of like roast chicken and roast potatoes without the hassle!

Both the chicken and Cypriot New Potatoes go beautifully with the typical Greek flavours of oregano, lemon, feta and black olives, making a delicious easy peasy alternative to a traditional roast chicken dinner.

Cook this Greek Chicken Traybake at the weekend for a lazy roast dinner or cook on a weeknight for an easy peasy midweek treat.

The delicious lemony flavours of this Greek Chicken Traybake would go beautifully with a citrusy Sauvignon Blanc, or a Sauvignon Semillon blend such as a white Bordeaux. Or, if you prefer red, a Beaujolais would go well here too.

    Hi, I’ve not tried a tray bake for a while. I love the idea of the added potatoes and lemon. I shall give this a try minus the feta. Thanks for sharing, Chloe #BrilliantBlogPosts

    Ooh wow, you traybake queen you! Looks gorgeous – stunning pictures Eb! If only Mr E & I weren’t vegetarian – but at least we can happily sub the chicken in it for a vegetarian alternative. And hurrah for feta – it had to be added being a greek inspired traybake.

      Haha – thanks Angela 🙂 I reckon you could probably make something very nice with either some Quorn chicken style fillets or maybe some extra veggies – aubergine and courgette would work well and keep with the Greek/Cypriot theme 🙂 And yeah – there really had to be feta in it!!! You know how much I love feta 😀 Eb x

    I love a recipe where all you have to do is plop stuff on a tray, put in the oven and serve! You’re my kind of girl! Thanks for joining in with #FreeFromFridays.

      Hahaha – yep, I am the queen of ‘plop stuff on a tray and shove it in the oven’ cookery – maybe that should be the title of my first book – it’s catchy, no? 😀 Seriously, thanks for your kind comments – always a pleasure to take part in #FreeFromFridays. I am always pleasantly surprised how many of my dishes turn out Free From without even really trying – I think it is probably because I pretty much always cook from scratch, so there is only gluten, dairy etc. in my recipes if I choose to put them in, rather than because they are hidden in some sauce or other processed gubbins!

    Love to try this for my Cypriot friend. Can I cook it all the day before and then heat it through?

      Absolutely! This recipe is a good make ahead option. Just make sure you reheat it until it is piping hot all the way through. Let me know how you get on 😀
