You can never have enough chicken recipes. Chicken is so versatile and often a crowd pleaser. This one pan roast chicken, okay 2 pans, if you count the other one to boil pasta 😉 is easy, delicious and made up of ingredients you probably already have on hand.
Roast Chicken with Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
2 Tablespoons of olive oil
4 chicken thighs
Salt and pepper  (unless chicken was brined, then leave this out)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
½ teaspoon oregano
1-24 ounce can of crushed tomatoes
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
¾ cup of frozen peas
4 ounces of feta
Directions
In a heavy bottomed large skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. If you did not brine the chicken thighs, salt and pepper them. Remove chicken and add onions, garlic and oregano to the skillet and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the can of tomatoes and the vinegar. Stir. Place the chicken back into the skillet and place into the oven for 12 minutes, covered. Uncover and cook for another 25 minutes. Add peas and cook for another 10-12 minutes. Serve over your favorite pasta or zoodles and crumble feta on top.
This fed our family of 5 for dinner plus enough was left over for 3 lunches with the pasta. You can easily double this recipe to feed more or freeze for a quick meal another time.
TIP: If you are going to brine the chicken, here is my brine recipe, but you probably only need to make 1/4 of it since this recipe is for a turkey 🙂
During the holidays you need easy, one pot meals that are good enough to feed guests. Try this or one of these easy recipes:
Stay tuned for the first holiday cookie recipe tomorrow!
I have made this on top of the stove and in my crockpot. Always make plenty. We serve it with noodles, rice etc.
I will definitely try it with rice next time! Good idea.
One pan dishes are my favorite! Less mess and ready to eat faster! Thanks for sharing this. I’m def going to have to add this to our cookbook. Sounds delicious

Thanks Helene! It is a favorite in my house.
my mom used to make something similar when i was a kid, and a meat eater. Will save for the hubby… I always need new chicken and sometimes baby girl will try!
We had a version of this last night but I used eggplant instead of chicken, you can always try that for you and add some sausage or chicken after for the hubby 😉
I can not imagine the amazing flavors this packs.
Thank you! The feta really makes this dish explode with flavor.
One pan meals are the way to go when you’re trying to make a quick and easy weeknight dinner. This one sounds delicious. My family loves roast chicken, so I think this is something they would like to try.
This (or a version of it) is in our regular meal rotation. The kids and husband all like it! Let me know if you try it!
I think I will be making this for supper tonight. My kids love this kind of meal. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Let me know how it turns out!
I love that this recipe yields so much! Leftovers are always a good thing, especially with something this delicious!!
Leftovers for lunch are the best and my kids think I’m crazy, but I eat leftovers for breakfast sometimes!
