Greek-Style Chicken Dinner

This was a huge hit in the house tonight! With a little prep earlier in the day, this dinner came together quick — perfect for a hot summer night when no one wants to be stuck in the kitchen too long.

We grilled up lemony, herb-seasoned chicken legs, roasted red potatoes with garlic and oregano, and served it all with a crisp cucumber, tomato, and bell pepper salad. Light, flavorful, and satisfying — the whole family loved it! Plus, I’ve included full macros broken down by dish and a total per serving so you can track easily.
