Homemade Greek Fries With Chicken {Oven Baked}

These Homemade Greek Fries are a healthy dinner idea loaded with chicken and Mediterranean-inspired flavours like tzatziki and feta!

Ingredients and substitutions

• Chicken breast – chicken breast is the leaner meat but chicken thighs will also work (and might end up being juicier).
• Olive oil – use any neutral oil like sunflower oil, avocado oil or vegetable oil.
• Lemon juice – fresh lemon juice or bottled lemon juice will both work. If you're in a pinch, use lime juice.
• Garlic – fresh garlic or jarred minced garlic are both great options.
• Oregano – if you don't have dried oregano on hand, dried marjoram will also work.
• Salt & pepper – to taste.
• Feta – feta is the most authentic Mediterranean taste but goat’s cheese or another cheese would be delicious on these fries.

• Russet potatoes – high-starch potatoes are best for fries, so if you don't have russet potatoes, I would recommend using white potatoes.
• Olive oil – see substitution notes above.
• Chili powder – paprika or cayenne pepper powder are great substitutes for chili powder.
• Oregano – see substitution notes above.
• Parsley – cilantro will also work in place of parsley as a garnish for the fries.
• Salt – to taste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Storing and reheating

You can store all the toppings, chicken and fries in separate airtight containers for up to 4 days. When you’re ready to reheat, I suggest sticking them in the oven for 5-10 minutes – just keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t overcook. You could also microwave them, but the texture won’t be the same. Make sure to sprinkle some water over top of the chicken so it doesn’t dry out.

Freezing the chicken

The best part about this recipe is that you can freeze any leftover cooked chicken that you may have from this dish! It's also perfect if you're looking to prepare the toppings for your fries in advance.

To freeze the chicken, add it to airtight glass containers or freezer bags once it’s cooled down completely. The cooked chicken can be kept frozen for up to 3 months. The night before you're ready to enjoy your fries, move your chicken to the fridge and defrost overnight. After it has defrosted, microwave them for a couple of minutes before adding them to your fries.

Ingredients

Greek chicken

• ▢ 2 chicken breasts
• ▢ 1 tbsp olive oil
• ▢ 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• ▢ 2 cloves garlic minced
• ▢ 1 tbsp dried oregano
• ▢ 1/2 tsp salt
• ▢ 1/4 tsp pepper

Fries

• ▢ 2 Russet potatoes
• ▢ 1 tbsp olive oil
• ▢ 1 tsp chili powder
• ▢ 1 tsp dried oregano
• ▢ 1 tsp dried parsley
• ▢ 1 tsp salt

Topping ideas:

• ▢ red onion
• ▢ tomato
• ▢ cucumber
• ▢ Lettuce
• ▢ Kalamata olives
• ▢ fresh parsley
• ▢ tzatziki
• ▢ hummus

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Marinate chicken breasts by mixing together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper and letting sit in a plastic bag with chicken for 10 minutes.
• Cook chicken in the oven for 20 minutes in an oven safe dish. Remove from oven and cut into 1-inch cubes once cooled a bit. Chicken can be made up to a day or two in advance so all you have to do is make the fries fresh and top them with chicken and veggies.
• While chicken is marinating/baking, wash potatoes and cut them into relatively thin (about 1/2 inch thick) fries using a sharp knife or mandolin.
• Soak fries in water and rinse away starch, then dry with a clean towel and place into large bowl. Toss fries with olive oil, chili powder, oregano, parsley and salt and place on oven sheet. Cook in oven for 12 minutes each side, flipping fries once.
• While fries are cooking, start prepping your toppings.
• Top Greek fries with chicken, your favourite toppings, sprinkle with your fave herbs and spices, then finish with tzatziki/hummus. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Make your own homemade tzatziki sauce. For a low-calorie option, use low-fat Greek yogurt.

Soaking the fries in water is key – you want to make sure to rinse off all the starch so they’re nice and crispy.

Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350° F or in the microwave.

Freeze the leftover chicken for up to 3 months.
