Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher Salt Substitute with sea salt if needed.
  • 1/4 cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Can be replaced with avocado oil.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Lemon Juice Fresh is best; bottled works in a pinch.
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Oregano Use Italian seasoning as a substitute if necessary.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Swap for fresh minced garlic for stronger flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Dill Use fresh dill if available, at three times the amount.
For the Main Dish
  • 2 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Chicken thighs can be used for richer flavor.
  • 2 pounds Russet Potatoes Yukon gold works for a creamier texture.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley Optional for garnish.

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Freezer Bag

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by peeling and dicing the Russet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil, then add the diced potatoes. Cook for about 6 minutes until just tender. Drain and spread to cool slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and dill. Taste for seasoning.
  3. Toss half of the marinade with the cooled potatoes. Coat the chicken with the remaining marinade. Place both in a freezer bag.
  4. Seal the bag tightly, minimizing air inside. Label with date and 'Easy Greek Chicken Freezer Meal'. Can be stored for up to 3 months.
  5. When ready to cook, thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread chicken and potatoes on a greased baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  6. Let rest for a few minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve warm with a salad or bread.
