    Easy Greek Chicken Bake is a low-carb, grain-free,  paleo, one-pan wonder meal! This is a  super easy meal and packs awesome, Greek-inspired flavors.

    Don't you just love it when you can dump all the ingredients in a pan and pop it in the oven and walk away?

    My family was really impressed with this dish. My Hubby even called dibs on the leftovers, and he is not even a chicken fan. Must be the bacon, lol.

    Even though one of my kiddos does not like olives, he still ate them and just avoided the olives.

    I had told him that I just couldn't make Greek food without olives because it would be a culinary crime!

    Made and baked all in one pan

      I have made this dish several times since I found it. To make it more Greek, I use pitted kalamata olives, and use Greek seasoning in place of the thyme. My family loves it! I use boneless, skinless, chicken breasts and double the recipe for everything else. Serve it on top of garlic mashed potatoes. So tasty, and have leftovers too! My grown children have asked for the recipe as well.

I had to sub a few things for what I had on hand (boneless, skinless chicken thighs, hearts of palm for artichokes, goat cheese for feta) but it still turned out great. Baked for the full 45 min and chicken did not dry out at all. THANK YOU so much for this wonderful recipe!

      Love this - easy, pretty and healthy. I think green olives (with pimentos) add more flavor than black would but it's a personal preference. I use skinless thighs for less fat and one clove of garlic - I like just a hint of that flavor,

      Sounds yummy! Do I need to cook the bacon before adding to this recipe?

        Deana, you can use uncooked (raw) bacon, or precooked bacon. It is in the oven long enough to cook the uncooked bacon along with the chicken.
