Chicken & Vegetable Stacks have to be the ultimate mid week meal. Fresh, grilled vegetables served underneath a bed of tangy, lemony chicken is simply delicious. Plus who can say no to some delicious feta; creamy, garlicky Tzatziki and a side of crunchy potatoes? Definitely not me! This meal couldn’t get any more scrumptious or simple!

Ingredients needed for Chicken & Vegetable Stacks

Chicken Breast: Chicken breast is best for this recipe. You could use thigh fillet if you would prefer. You just have to reduce the cooking time.
Vegetables: the combination of zucchini, capsicum, eggplant and baby spinach can’t get much better (see note below on other suggestions). Plus a side serving of crispy potatoes cannot go wrong.
Seasoning: Lemon, garlic, olive oil, thyme as well as salt & pepper creates a delicious, fresh taste. Allowing the chicken to marinate in the sauce will give this dish that extra bit of punch.
Feta: Danish or Greek Feta are the preferred options. If possible, look for a feta that is packaged into a bit of salt water. This makes it creamier and more delicious.
Tzatziki: Homemade Tzatziki is always our favourite. But if time is limited, feel free to buy your favourite brand.

A side note on the vegetables

As we all know, vegetables are seasonal. And if you want to save a few extra dollars, you may want to buy what is on special at your local supermarket. This is totally ok and highly recommended. You can easily use other vegetables for this recipe. Some great ideas include mushrooms, tomatoes, cauliflower or even pumpkin. Don’t be afraid to get creative in the kitchen and try out new things when possible.

How to store leftovers?

Having leftovers of this meal is fairly rare, at least in my family. But if you would like to keep a serve for the next day, you can easily store the leftovers in an air tight container for up to 2 days. We would highly recommend keeping the baby spinach, feta and tzatziki separate until ready to serve. When ready to reheat, simply place into a frying pan until warm or quickly warm in the microwave (microwave may not be the best option for left over potatoes- reheating them in the oven or in a frying pan will be much better and tastier).
