Greek Chicken & Potato Bowl - Food Wishes

We might have scaled down our Greek Chicken and Potatoes recipe to make it a little quicker and more “bowl-friendly,” but to even things out we also made our Big Fat Greek Salad recipe much bigger, and fatter. Enjoy!

My dad: "I like Chef John. Not only are all his recipes good, but hes also not pretentious with anything he does".

[@sandrastreifel6452]

And the Dad jokes!

[@missdeanna]

Somehow, I read this in a Chef John voice! Maybe it was the "Not only... But also" setup that I feel like he does

[@meesposito6378]

Chef John literally convinced me cooking it's not that hard. I am one of these "I CAN'T COOK" type of people, I think I've watched like a hundred of Chef's John videos before actually getting off my couch and trying to make something. With everything I learned from you, now I can honestly say I enjoy making my own dinner. Chef John, Thank you so much for your work!

[@OrlaQuirk]

Chef John taught me to make homemade pitas! What a money-saver! I believe I can do this, too Thanks, Chef John

[@mahna_mahna]

I'm a lower intermediate level cook, but these videos got me out of a cooking slump. There's just something about his approach that makes it feel like "yeah, I can do that." Apart from everything else, he is limited by recipes he can show up close preparation on. I think that helps make sure the recipe is doable by people at lower skill levels. After I watch them, I think, "I could do that, and it looks delicious, so now I really want to try it!"

[@JakeEpooh]

Amen!

6:30 "There's nothing that always works, which is something you don't learn until you get older." -Chef John, 2021 Some sage advice. (also: remember to come back to insert thyme-related pun)

The amount of hidden jokes in this vid is impressive, even by Chef John's standards.

I made this for my wife tonight. With some minor alterations. I had a bone in skin on turkey breast I needed to use. So I marinated that after slicing some cuts into it to help the marinade along and roasted that whole alongside the potatoes. Also tossed in chopped red bell pepper to the salad. Other than that I stayed pretty close to the recipe. 10/10 absolutely amazing dish. I ended up being the geek of my Greek bowl tweak.

[@annbrookens945]

Isn't this marinade great?!! We LOVED it!

I MADE THIS! AND IT IS DELICIOUS! When I watch this 4 days ago, I thought, "We have boneless chicken thighs in the freezer..." Took them out of the freezer and threw them in the fridge. Read through the recipe. Yesterday, about 2, I put the marinade together, added the chicken, threw it back in the fridge and thought, "In 6 hours, it's going to be too late to cook." So 24 hours later, I put it in the oven. The chicken tastes AMAZING. Rave reviews from my family, Chef!!

[@richard3765]

Chef John has the cleanest oven I've ever seen.

Don’t know what I enjoy more of chef John, the actual food he cooks or listening to him 😅

[@SheepdogsHeart]

Made this last night, and while I have to say that I'm not really a "salad for dinner" kind of guy this really did the trick. Maybe calling it a bowl matters in ways we dont yet comprehend. The chicken was full of flavor and the dressing brought it all together. Served it with warm pita wedges and had a great meal with the family. Thanks again to Chef John for adding to my repertoire.

[@rodmckenzie9089]

A beautiful salad bowl. But I would also add a sprinkle of Kalamata olives 😋

[@silvervial]

Made this last night, after a day of marinating the chicken, and we were overwhelmed by how delicious this recipe is. This is the sixth recipe we've tried since I found Chef John and he has not let us down yet. Everything has been great. Thank you, Chef John!

[@cappedcook]

This is one of the most poetic Food Wishes episodes I’ve ever seen.

Was hoping for a callback to his classic greek chicken and potatoes dish. Was the first recipe of his that I fell in love with

[@lindainparis7349]

Me too, and my family.

[@lindainparis7349]

Try C. J.'s lemon pepper potatoes. But make twice as much as he says, they're just too good.

[@Pleasantly_Unbothered]

Chef John. My man thinks I am the best cook ever because of all the recipes you give us on this platform. Thank you!

[@MrDrivingFaster]

As a Greek foodie, I approve of this recipe

[@brenthooton3412]

4:26 You might even say that you're the Debra Messing of your Greek chicken and potato bowl dressing.

[@MrNickMulgrave]

A handful of chopped Kalamata olives and a dollop of tzatziki would take this to the next level.

[@napperforlife2020]

Omg yes I love Greek food

[@susanb5058]

Oohhh yes!

[@sadubone]

for the potatoes after cooking, i find letting them sit as you said then I lift the foil up and peel the potatoes from the foil. they separate super easy for me that way and i don't lose much. looks delicious.

[@shernick131]

Lol the potato chicken symbiotic relationship xD

[@BigMamaDaveX]

😋 Chicken and potatoes... What's NOT to love? 💌💕

[@EpsteinDidntKillHimself]

To be fair "bowl" sounds more hearthy than "salad", because it feels like theres more carbs like pasta or rice or potatoes or buckwheat and meat WITH some veg than there is just greens. So yeah, bowl does sound more appealing than salad

[@tiredoftheliesalready]

EDIT: Brain decided that reading correctly isn't a thing...so my comment was a product of that. My bad! Since when did "salad" become an unhealthy sounding word? I know no one that thinks this way, and I've never heard the sentiment it in any keto videos or weight management channels, so... 🤷‍♂️

[@Ceduria]

@@tiredoftheliesalready they said "hearty". Exactly because "salad" sounds like the healthy option as opposed to a full meat-and-potatoes meal.

[@tiredoftheliesalready]

@@Ceduria Gah...thanks LOL. Apparently my brain decided to misread later at night... 🤦‍♂️

[@thattacoguy]

after i made this i sat around for like half an hour reflecting on how amazingly delicious it was

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

Thanks, Chef John, from somewhere near Seattle. Fantastic dish! ⚘🙏⚘

[@WhatAboutZoidberg]

Every Korean/Asian viewer seeing the scissors is probably very familiar with kitchen sheers. Such an easy way to cut the chicken & a nice "hack"

[@lindainparis7349]

Like the comment/pun. I also use scissors all the time, to cut pizza, to cut up herbs in a glass, to cut chives over dishes, too big bits in the saucepan cooking etc etc

[@maggiekalande1625]

So the basic seasoning for the chicken is just like your Greek Grilled Chicken recipe. A recipe that I have used many times and never failed to impress anyone. Thanks a million, Chef!

"...famous for their nooks and crannies and don't even get me started on the crevices and folds..." @ 1:48 Yep, chicken thighs and I have that in common, that's why I prefer the hands-on method too. Tongs are too impersonal.

Great recipe Chef John! This is one of my favourite dishes in the summer months. My husband always makes this chicken and potato salad as a side dish on nights he fires up the BBQ. Greek dishes are definitely ideal for summer nights spent in the garden type of food. So flavoursome. The combo of the herbs and chilli flakes is delicious 🍹🌞
