For this Lemon Chicken and Potatoes meal plan, we have delicious One-Pan Greek Lemon Chicken and Potatoes tray bake, Maroulosalata (lettuce and feta salad) and Spanakorizo (Greek spinach rice). And to finish, a lovely Lemon Pistachio Poundcake.

Check out more of my Meal Plans for ideas and inspiration, or visit my Greek Recipes page for even more recipes.

Each of my meal plans includes a main, side, salad or appetizer, as well as any complementary sauces or condiments. Sometimes a complementary bread or baked good too. If the main is large enough to stand on its own, I’ll include a dessert that I think will go perfectly with it!

My goal? to give you a ready-to-use plan so you don’t have to stress about pairings. I take the guesswork out of it! The recipes are all linked below, you can view them on your computer, tablet, phone or print them. Let’s get into it!

Why This Meal Plan Works

  • One-pan Greek Lemon Chicken and Potatoes is the kind of recipe that earns a permanent spot in the weekly rotation. Everything cooks together: the chicken juices baste the potatoes, the lemon and garlic perfume both, and cleanup is a single pan.
  • Maroulosalata: Greek shredded romaine dressed with dill, green onions, and a simple olive oil and lemon dressing is crisp and refreshing alongside the roasted richness of the chicken.
  • Spanakorizo (Greek-style rice with spinach, dill, and lemon) is an ideal grain side here. It is earthy and bright, substantial enough to anchor the plate without competing with the chicken.
  • And keeping the lemony flavor going, my Lemon Pistachio Poundcake is a lovely end to this meal.
