Description
A flavorful and easy-to-make dish featuring seasoned chicken thighs and roasted potatoes, all cooked in convenient foil packets with a mix of Mediterranean ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 chicken thighs (boneless and skinless)
- 8 oz potatoes (cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2.5 tsp oregano
- 2.5 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 5 oz feta (crumbled)
- 2/3 cup kalamata olives (pitted and halved)
- 6 oz cherry tomatoes
- 4 sundried tomatoes (finely diced)
- 8 oz artichoke hearts
- 1.5 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 lemon wedges
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and set aside. Pit and halve the kalamata olives, finely dice the sundried tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and crumble the feta. Combine oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- Preheat the grill to 375-400°F. Tear off 12 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Toss cubed potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt, then divide among the 6 bottom foil sheets.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry, rub with the remaining olive oil, and coat with the seasoning blend. Place one chicken thigh on each potato bed.
- Cover each packet with a second foil sheet and seal tightly by folding the edges together, ensuring some air space for steam circulation.
- Cook the packets on the preheated grill for 40 minutes.
- Carefully open the packets, keeping the bottom foil to contain juices. Distribute olives, sundried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and red onion among the packets.
- Drizzle each with white wine vinegar, and top with crumbled feta.
- Return the open packets to the grill and cook for an additional 30-40 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F. The potatoes should be tender and golden, and the feta will soften.
- Remove packets from the grill, distribute fresh parsley, and squeeze a lemon wedge over each packet before serving.
Notes
- This recipe is great for summer barbecues or meal prep.
- You can customize the vegetables based on personal preference.
- For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken thighs in olive oil and herbs for a few hours before cooking.
