Sheet Pan Chicken Tzatziki with Sweet Potatoes and Herb Tahini Sauce is a vibrant, flavor-packed Mediterranean-inspired meal featuring spiced roasted chicken thighs and caramelized sweet potatoes, topped with creamy tzatziki and herb tahini sauce—all made on one pan for easy cleanup.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, diced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2–3 tablespoons water (to thin sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • Optional toppings: Pickled red onions, chopped cucumber, fresh dill

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, toss diced sweet potatoes with half of the olive oil, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Repeat with chicken thighs in a separate bowl.
  3. Spread sweet potatoes and chicken in a single layer on the sheet pan.
  4. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.
  5. While roasting, blend tahini, lemon juice, water, chopped herbs, and a pinch of salt until smooth and pourable.
  6. Plate roasted chicken and sweet potatoes, drizzle with herb tahini sauce, and add a dollop of tzatziki.
  7. Top with optional pickled onions, cucumber, or fresh dill if desired.

Notes

  • Use tofu for a vegetarian variation.
  • Swap sweet potatoes with butternut squash, cauliflower, or zucchini.
  • Store-bought tzatziki saves time—choose a thick, creamy brand.
  • Reheat chicken and potatoes in a 350°F oven for best texture.
  • Sauces can be made ahead and stored for up to 3 days.
