🍲 Ingredients
Chicken Thighs – Chicken thighs bring a perfect balance of flavor and juiciness to this sheet-pan meal. Their higher fat content means they stay tender and moist during roasting, while their rich flavor stands up to the bold Mediterranean seasonings, making them an ideal choice for this Greek-inspired dish. Butter Beans – I add butter beans to any recipe I can because they are an excellent source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber. Greek yogurt – Greek yogurt makes a great marinade because its natural acidity gently tenderizes the meat, ensuring each bite is succulent and juicy. Its creamy consistency helps the herbs and spices cling to the chicken, infusing it with deep Mediterranean flavors throughout the cooking process. Plus, it adds some extra protein, too—win-win-win!
