Frequently asked question

Substitutions

Chicken – Thighs with skin were used in this recipe. Which explains the high calories per serving. A leaner and healthier option would be using skinless and boneless chicken breasts.

Potatoes – You may use either sweet potatoes or regular potatoes of choice.

Cheese – Feta cheese tastes best for greek style chicken recipe and we highly recommend using feta. But you may sub with other crumbly cheese like ricotta, halloumi, queso fresco, or goat cheese

Onion: You may use white sweet onions instead of red/purple onion.
