Oven-Baked Mediterranean Chicken with Brussels Sprouts and Tzatziki

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

2. 2

   Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

3. 3

   Cut the chicken breasts into large chunks or leave whole as preferred. Add to the bowl with Brussels sprouts.

4. 4

   Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the chicken and Brussels sprouts. Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Zest the lemon and add the zest to the bowl. Toss everything together until well coated.

5. 5

   Spread the chicken and Brussels sprouts evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. 6

   Slice the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the chicken and sprouts. Reserve the other half for serving.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the Brussels sprouts are golden and tender.

8. 8

   While the chicken bakes, prepare the tzatziki: Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture. In a bowl, combine 200g Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, juice from the remaining half lemon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
