Ingredients and substitutions

  • Olive oil – or any other neutral cooking oil like avocado, canola or grapeseed oil.
  • Lemon juice – freshly squeezed or bottled. Lime juice would work but has a slightly different taste.
  • Garlic – I like using fresh garlic cloves, but jarred minced garlic or garlic salt can be used in a pinch.
  • Oregano – you can switch out for another fresh herb or spice like cilantro, parsley or paprika for spice.
  • Salt – to taste.
  • Chicken breasts – you could also try boneless skinless chicken thighs, but they'll be harder to stuff.
  • Red and yellow peppers – any other colour bell pepper would work.
  • Zucchini – or whatever veggies you want like olives, red onion or artichoke.
  • Feta cheese – goat cheese or cotija cheese would also work, but feta is the traditional Greek option.

What is hasselback chicken

Hasselback chicken is delicious stuffed chicken breasts. You make horizontal cuts along each chicken breast, then fill the openings with tasty veggies, cheese and more! I've linked some of my other favourite hasselback chicken recipes below.

The hasselback chicken method

One thing you really do need to get right with hasselback chicken is making deep enough cuts.

Shallow cuts won't allow your chicken breasts to hold all the veggies, and since they're the star of the show, you need to be able to fit a bunch of them.

Don't overfill each cut, you just want one slice of each veggie in each cut.

You're also going to want to ensure that you're slicing the bell peppers and zucchini thin enough so that they can be stuffed inside the little cuts in the chicken. I tried to get 1/4-inch thickness on all the veggies and then stuffed them in there.

Don't worry if some of them are sticking out of the chicken a bit, as long as they are tucked inside and aren't falling out you're good to go!

Greek chicken marinade

For this Baked Hasselback Greek Chicken, I basically just used the basic Greek chicken marinade that I keep on hand for busy weeknights. It's so easy to throw together and uses mostly pantry staples so you don't have to worry about making a last minute trip to the store or anything.

It's basically just a mix of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic (fresh or the jarred kind works), oregano and a pinch of salt.

Easy right?! I swear, you'll be using this Greek chicken marinade on everything!

And I feel like you could also probably switch out the oregano for another fresh herb or spice like chili powder, paprika, cilantro or parsley. Sooooo basic but so good!

Storing and reheating

You can store leftover chicken breasts in the fridge up to 3-4 days. Sprinkle some water overtop to help the chicken retain its moisture and then reheat for 2 minutes in the microwave.

Freezing this recipe

You can freeze this Greek hasselback chicken cooked or raw for up to three months, which makes it a great option for meal prep. Wrap it in plastic wrap and aluminum foil then put it in a Ziploc freezer bag or store it in an airtight glass meal prep container. When you're ready to reheat, let it defrost in the fridge overnight before baking it in the oven.

    This looks really good. I am going to try it this week. I like the. comment that suggested putting some feta in before baking and sprinkling more on after it comes out of the oven.

    Wonderful dish, I served mine over brown rice and I leave the salt out. I use no salt in all of my cooking and baking. Anyways I added Feta to mine prior to baking it and then sprinkled a little Feta on it when I serve it. Great dish, Thank you.
