Who here loves washing the dishes? Me neither! That's why I made this one-pan meal of Sheet Pan Greek Chicken and Vegetables. It is so tasty and doesn't require too much work aside from chopping some vegetables. The garlic, lemon, oregano and dill gives this dish so much flavor. If you like Mediterranean food, you will love this!
When planning out this recipe, I had the hardest time deciding what vegetables to use. Obviously I decided on the ones that I included but other great choices would be green beans, kalamata olives, regular canned beans, etc. Feel free to use what veggies you have on hand. Just don't skip the marinade though. It is what takes the chicken from being boring and flavorless to a flavor explosion in your mouth.
Since it is the New Year and I know that many people want to focus on healthier eating (myelf included), I wanted to make a nutritious meal to share. I wanted to focus particularly on heart healthy meals. I used olive oil for the chicken and vegetables which is a heart healthy choice. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts which are lean and low in saturated fats.
I also skipped pan-frying the chicken to keep it healthier. The vegetables and potatoes are vitamin and mineral rich and help fill you up. They are also great sources of fiber. I skipped the salt because with all of these flavors, you really don't need it.

INSTRUCTIONS
I teamed up with Henry Ford Health System Heart and Vascular Institute for this posts which I am super excited about. I live just 15 minutes from Henry Ford Hospital, have visited there before and drove by there every day on my way to and from work. As you may remember, I am a registered dietitian and have worked with many of the patients coming from Henry Ford Health System when I worked at my nursing home jobs. I saw all new admissions and would have to read through all of the hospital paperwork to get to know the resident's medical history.
At both of my previous jobs, we had tons of patients coming from the different Henry Ford hospitals. HenryFord Heart and Vascular Institute is pioneering minimally invasive surgeries and treatments every day. People come from all over for the expertise at this institute. You can visit The Henry Ford Health System Women’s HeartCenter site where you can learn more about heart disease and cardiovascular risk factors.
You can also take a Heart Health Risk Assessment (HRA Quiz) to learn more about your heart disease health risk. I took the quiz to see what it is like and it looks at your weight, age, family history, diagnoses of high blood pressure, high cholesterol and more. It is a good start to see if you may need to see your doctor about your heart health. After taking the free quiz, learn about how you can set up an appointment for a $99 Heart Screening including blood work and more with results in an hour by clicking here.
