Low GI Keto Sheet Pan Greek Chicken

This sheet pan Greek chicken recipe is one of the easiest Low-GI High Protein recipes you’ll come across. The all-in-one meal is loaded with roasted veggies, tender chicken thighs, spices, and feta cheese. The sweetness of the bell pepper and cherry tomatoes is counteracted by the tang and zing of the baked lemons, and the feta and olives add the right amount of saltiness and texture. We recommend preparing a double batch because this is a crowd-pleasing Low-GI Keto recipe!

How can you customize this recipe?

This sheet pan recipe is very forgiving and can be customized to your liking. You can add more Low-GI veggies like artichoke hearts, eggplant, zucchini, or asparagus, or swap the chicken thighs for chicken breast, salmon, or cod fillet. As for the feta cheese, skip it for a dairy-free, Paleo, or Whole30 option, or replace it with ricotta, halloumi, or goat cheese.

What can you serve this dinner with?

This Greek chicken dish is low in carbs, leaving you plenty to play around with for side dishes. You can pair this meal with other Low Glycemic Keto foods like zesty lemon noodles or cauliflower rice. Consider keeping it simple with steamed broccoli, sauteed asparagus, or roasted brussel sprouts.

Is this recipe suitable for meal prep?

Absolutely! This dish is just as tasty the next day. Preparing a larger batch is just as quick and easy and will provide you with ready-to-eat lunches for a couple of days. After baking, allow the chicken and veggies to cool, then transfer each portion to an airtight container. When ready to eat, heat it in the microwave for a couple of minutes until warm.
