The Mediterranean influences shine through this dish with oregano flavored Greek chicken, a rainbow mix of low carb veg and tasty olives. Complemented with a tzatziki style cucumber and fresh mint yogurt dip perfect for dipping in chunks of chicken or roasted vegetables. Using skin-on chicken thighs gives a more succulent roast and ensures that the meat stays nice and juicy, plus you get a crispy skin to enjoy and up the fat content!
This easy sheet pan meal is great for a quick midweek dinner as cooking the chicken and vegetables together saves time and effort whilst letting the flavors combine and improve the finished result. Serve leftovers with a different salad the next day to keep things interesting and get a variety of nutrients from keto-friendly veg.
