Meditteranean Chicken Sheet Pan
Ingredients:
-Boneless Chicken thighs, cut into large chunks (or whole) *If I made this again I’d do it whole so that everythign is ready at the same time but I bought the chicken already cut up.
Chicken Marinade:
-1/2 tbsp olive oil
-3 tbsp plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
-the juice of 1 large lemon
-6 garlic cloves, minced
-1 tbsp oregano
-1 tbsp smoked paprika
-pinch of salt & pepper (to taste)
Method:
1. Dry chicken thighs
2. add them to a bowl with all of the marinade ingredients and mix well
3. Cover and place in fridge for at least one hour (to overnight- the longer the better!)
4. Take the chicken out 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature
5. During that 30 minutes, cut up whatever veggies you like. I did zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and red onion.
6. Place the veggies in a big bowl, add some olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano and mix to evenly coat.
7. Place some parchment paper on a baking tray before laying the chicken and veggies on it. Don’t overcrowd the pan (I used 2 trays)
8. Bake at 400F (205C) for 37-40 minutes. If the chicken is cut up it will probably be ready early (~20 minutes?) so check on it and take it out before the veggies if you need to.
9. Place evrything on one pan and add the sauce (below)
For the sauce, blend the following ingredients:
-3/4 cup full fat Greek yogurt
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-1 small garlic clove
-salt & pepper
handful of fresh dill (I didn’t have any it’s ok if you omit)
Levi’s Pasta
Melt 1 tbsp of ghee or butter to a pan over medium heat. Add 1 minced garlic clove and fry until fragrant (~30 secs). Add the pasta, stir to coat the pasta evenly with the garlic butter. Pour in some chicken bone broth or chicken broth (enough to cover the pasta). Bring it to a boil then simmer until pasta is cooked (~15 minutes). Boil some water on the side to have it ready in case all of the liquid is gone and the pasta isn’t quite cooked. You can just add water until it’s cooked to your liking. Turn off heat, add some grated parmesan and serve.

i still remember when Levi was a new born and he's so big now 😭he looks like the sweetest little kid

[@megumi8948]

i still remember her contact lens modeling days 😭 i have not always watched her as consistently but i've been here and it feels so weird

[@Taylor_R]

Where did the time go? 🥺

[@megumi8948]

@@Taylor_R right??? i feel lowkey old, but in a good way since it all feels weirdly nostalgic to me :)

Yes 😭

[@zoe-jr4fj]

My mom grew up going to Disney world and she said the first time she took my sister and I on a small world she cried the whole ride because she remembered riding it as a kid with her family 🥺

[@Taylor_R]

that's really sweet 🥹

[@DetsCrissy]

For me it was the opposite. I grew up with parents who didn't like going to any amusement parks at all! So taking my own children to Disney world was a dream come true for myself as well ❤

[@pootoobaby738]

Hearing Levi talk gave me a shock! 🤯How did he get so big so fast?!? I feel like a proud grandmother (even though we're the same age 😂) watching you embrace this new chapter of your life after watching since the kawaii days. Motherhood looks great on you Taylor💖

[@lalewilan]

Wow, you look so good with the darker hair. You all look great and happy.

[@Taylor_R]

Thank you ❤ It's my natural colour so it's easiest to maintain.. and now in the end (after years of trying to change it) I like it the most

[@lalewilan]

@@Taylor_R

[@BrookBeck]

@@Taylor_RI love it so much! I have the same hair color and I rarely see it anymore because we’re told to lighten it up our entire lives.

[@tanvivishindasani24]

i missed you so much on KZbin taylor 😭

[@stephanierestlessinseattle5261]

Love that Tom is always looking ahead . He always has new ideas. A cafe would be so cool! Seeing Levi in Disneyland having fun would make me a Disney adult so fast. I'm like let's go back ! Just to see him laugh again. Thanks for the update seeing you and your family glow up has been so lovely ❤

[@katrinhalookca]

I've been watching you since way back in the contact lenses days. Having been part of your journey trying for a baby, seeing you and Levi (who's so big!) and how you're just glowing makes my heart smile for you. May all your days bring you love and joy Taylor ❤

[@BillyMayDays]

I can’t imagine living across the world from my parents, grandparents and siblings. I want to spend as much time with them as possible before they’re all gone. Taylor is brave!

[@coco-cn9lw]

I can say one thing after all these years with you, your blogs are so much interestings, educational, fanny and heart warming than no ones, more and more mature and precious, thank you Talylor!❤❤❤❤

[@Mr.Chedda_]

You're one of two KZbinrs I keep up with, your videos are just, they hit different lol, you just come across in a genuine and honest way and I love the way you present things, see what you cook, your clothes and skincare, it's just always a breeze. Sending you all the love Taylor ❤Bless

[@gabbiebobbs3543]

I’m so so excited to get your notification!! Omg! It’s like a treat to see Taylor upload!! I’ve been here since to the dolly days and the growth is so amazing to see! ❤❤❤

[@FilipinaHoneyTV]

Watching Levi grow up on screen makes me teary eyed. You raised a good little boy! 😭

[@posseid0n]

so glad to see u back on youtube, missed your vlogs 😢

[@bubblesnblossom5233]

Ty for uploading Taylor. Have been missing the "Chicken Go", Rosie twirling days a lot recently and seeing the little lady was very heart-warming! Ty also for the cleansing tips, much needed as I need to start over after a v bad breakout 😅💖

[@muriaal]

[@brilliantbutblue]

It is lovely to see you back, Taylor. We miss your videos ❤

[@domestic.engineer.designs]

I have been watching your blogs for so many years since Japan and its just amazing to see how far you have come in life. You and your family are so beautiful. You are literally goals, and I'm so proud to see how far you have grown 💓 I really hope you continue sharing your experiences with us ❤️

[@TowlerAdventures]

Levi is the cutest thing!!! He doesn’t even seem real 😍🥹 like “the gerber baby” or little kids you see in the commercials or movies.

[@thebeatmagelive]

love to see taylor happy with her family :)

[@lchow1282]

You’re not alone in the beige food era. My son went from eating everything at 6 months to panicking when he sees a green speck on his food…. 😅

[@Thunderstorm-1111]

Taylor it’s so nice that u post again on KZbin ☺️✨🧡 Levi is so cute omg he really seems like a carefree and happy child! Keep up the good work ✨🙌🏼

Levi is getting cuter and cuter🥰 everyday and also he's talking, time goes by so fast!

[@laurah.6403]

I still remember how long you had to fight to have your little family. I am so happy for you and I really hope you will be very happy and healthy for a very long time. I am currently pregnant myself and I can’t wait to take my baby on adventures like you are these days. Nothing but love to you and your family!

[@sprocket8662]

I love that you use wrist towels - found them last year and gave them to all the women I know for Christmas this past year. They are the best thing since sliced bread. LOL

[@michellebeebelewisfrith1544]

I'm so happy for you guys 💓. God bless you and your family. Love y'all. Been watching u since my girls were in highschool. They r grown now. And I have a grandson. ❤

[@Clear_Night4]

This vid helped make my day! Been watching your content forever and loved having your videos as a part of my routine 🥰 I adore the variety of content in your videos, there's always a good balance of things. I especially appreciate how you appropriately feature your family in your videos unlike other creators 😪 Super excited to see how Tom's baking comes along! I also look forward to any possible future classic Taylor DIY vidoes you may include Tom/Levi in 🤣

[@Kristen-kp6dh]

I always enjoy your uploads! Thanks from Minnesota😺

So happy you posted a video after a long while! ❤

Tom, best thing about baking is it’s a learnable skill with fantastic payoff early on. It also is transferable to so many other cookery hobbies.I hope you have a fantastic and fulfilling time.

So happy to see you back🥺🥺 I used to watch a lot of your content when I moved to HK temporarily 😍 your vlogs make me so nostalgic 🥹

[@okwrite7120]

Lovely to see you guys again. Baking is such a great skill to learn. The problem is that freshly baked goods are very morish, you need to find willing test subjects otherwise you end up eating most of your produce (sometimes before it's cold!) and then you start piling on the pounds!

[@Evankarose]

So excited to see you posted this morning 💕💗

[@jmason1770]

She's more active on IG because she doesn't have to spend a lot of time filming and editing to post. *NOTE:* I'm only repeating what Taylor said on IG a long time ago. So I understand what she don't post YT videos often. I follow her on IG so I seeing her post.

[@bubblesnblossom5233]

@@jmason1770 don't know if it's how it was read but that came off a bit harshly. Taylor's a working mother. That doesn't leave a lot of free time!

[@jmason1770]

@@bubblesnblossom5233 I'm only repeating what Taylor had said on IG! I'm aware that she's raising a child so she doesn't have as much time to do full length video. I love watching her posts on IG. Not sure how repeating what Taylor said is "harsh".

[@bubblesnblossom5233]

@@jmason1770 It wasn't the repetition of her words that seemed harsh so much as the implication behind them. I misunderstood bc of a lack of context- I don't follow the people I'm subbed to on YT on IG- so wouldn't know that Taylor had said those exact words at some point. Hope that made the origin of my earlier comment easier to understand.

[@lauraelainedesilets1189]

Awe ! You posted !!! You TAYLOR are such a good mom. Gosh I remember going to Disney with my nephew at that age. It's a small world.... It's playing in my mind now. Anyways you have grown tremendously. Your skin is so pretty and look at all your hair. I do love the lighter brows and I think eyeliner. Well you are probably sleeping. That's great Tom... You go make that bread. Dreams come true... You two prove that one !!! Love you ❤
