We love quick and easy recipes where you can just toss everything together, pop it in the oven… and that’s it! With minimal cleanup and zero fuss, it’s a meal worthy of a cozy family dinner 😍 Inspired by the bold flavors of a classic tagine, this one-pan dish combines roasted potatoes, fiber-rich fennel, and tender chicken for a result that is as nutritious as it is satisfying.
Ingredients4 servings
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken quarters or thighs
- 1 pound of baby potatoes
- 2 fennel bulbs
- 1 organic lemon
- 3.5 oz pitted green olives (½ cup)
- 4–5 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Herbes de Provence
Directions
1
Wash the baby potatoes, then cut them in half, or into quarters if they’re larger. Wash the fennel and slice it thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife.
2
Place the chicken thighs (skin-side up), potatoes, and fennel on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with Herbes de Provence. Mix everything together with a wooden spoon or your hands so all the ingredients are evenly coated and won’t dry out while cooking.
3
Scatter the green olives over the sheet pan. Place a thin lemon slice on each chicken thigh and tuck a few extra slices among the vegetables.
4
Bake for 50 minutes at 350°F, or until the chicken is golden and the vegetables are tender.
Note: If you do not have Herbs de Provence available, Italian seasoning also tastes great!
Happy cooking 🥰 ☀️
Is there a substitute for olives as I’m allergic to them! I have alternatives for the olive oil as I’m allergic to it also?
This was incredibly delicious.
OUTSTANDING! I absolutley LOVE this recipe! Thank you, thank you for the recipe as well as for advocating healthy choices for us all! You guys are the best! Thanks for ALL you do! 🙂
Awesome dish. Next time I will use three fennel bulbs as the fennel mostly disappeared.
Hello Julie,
I made this tonight. My it was tasty. My son said it has a ‘Greekish’ taste and I concur.
Very good. thank you for the recipe.
Keep up the good work Yuka!!!
I love these healthy quick meal ideas! Thank you!
I love this recipe and it will definitely be going into my binder of favorites!
Looks like a very delicious recipe,making it for dinner 😋😋😋🍽️🍽️
Very healthy, but very bland.
I dont like olives and so I used a mixture of ginger and garlic to enhance the taste. It turned out to be great.
Am I the only commenter who actually made the recipe? I loved that it was easy and had few ingredients. I am also a sucker for fennel (a vegetable that tastes like a candy? sign me up!). I made it with thighs and found the amount of cooking time to be accurate. I will say that the chicken was OK but could have used something more. Searing first? Rubbing oil or butter under the skin with spice? Not sure, but I will definitely make it again.
OK, I now see other commenters who made the recipe 🙂
Julie,
This chicken recipe was sooo delicious! I followed your recipe exactly. The chicken was very savory & juicy. Love adding green olives & it’s the first time I cooked fennel. Great flavor combination! I’m sharing this recipe with my daughter & many others. Thank you! 😊
Delicious! I added petite baby carrots! Loved the idea of the green olives. Easy and would try it again!
Can you send keto recipes
Thank you so very much!
Wonderful! I cannot wait to try this recipe soon!

This recipe looks like it utilizes chicken quarters instead of thighs?
Thanks for good jobs
Thanks for the awesome recipe!
Love it…
Thank you!
Oh, thank you sooo much.cant wait to try it out.i have a question. I use to be able to fine at my favorite store.
The herb de Providence can’t anymore. Can you tell me where I can find it? I prefer it over anything else. Thank you.
Most larger grocery stores often carry it, but an Italian herb blend would taste delicious as well!
Although I can’t cook but definitely going to try this. The recipe is simple and instructions are easy to follow
Yum
Looks amazing! If I substitute for bone in chicken breasts, do I need to adjust the time/Temp?
We would recommend checking the doneness after ~35–45 minutes.
“Thank you for providing a clear and well-organized receipt. All the details are easy to read and properly listed, which makes it very helpful for record-keeping. Great job!”
Sounds great! It’ll be my next go to recipe
Looks great. Will def try this one.

Need a print form of this recipe please.
I will try this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Loved it!!
I will try this.
Must try that chicken with fennel looks great wonder how it taste 🍗
Plan to make this tomorrow — it just looks absolutely delicious. I’m doing more ‘sheet bake’ cooking because my spouse and I are older folks who eat less for dinner than we used to. I can divide this recipe into 2 portions after cooking, fridging one to hold for 2 days later. Appreciate your recipe creativity!!!
I will Definitely try it. Thanks
Looks easy and delicious. We’ll try. Thanks
I will make this without the meat. I am a vegan.
Looks good. I will definitely try it
Thanks for sharing
The recipe calls for chicken thighs but you have chicken quarters on the pan? Should we use quarters or thighs
Thank you David! We updated the recipe to reflect this!
It was very delicious❤️
yummy!
Looking forward to cooking this dish!
It looks great and easy to prepare. I will definitely try it out.
Will make with sweet potatoes.
Would also be good with salmon
Love this recipe, thank you. 😊
Can I use chicken breasts? This recipe looks amazing?
Yes, you would just want to check the doneness about 10 minutes earlier to be sure it does not dry out.
Yum sounds good
Always love trying new chicken recipes.
I would like to try it with chicken wings, I don’t care for the dark meat of the chicken. It looks delicious!!! Thanks!
It looks so good, I will try it today, then I’ll comeback and comment more.
Omg that looks sooooo good I’m going to have to try this! Ty for this yummy recipe!!!
Can this be frozen for leftovers ?
Yes!
This looks very simple and delicious. I will definitely give it try. Thank you
The recipe calls for 4 thighs, shown are 3 legs with thighs. Legs take longer to cook than thighs so I’m just wondering how accurate this recipe is.
Parts is parts. Adjust cooking time accordingly. And use an internal thermometer to confirm 165 degrees F when it’s done. (It’ll rise a few degrees after removing from oven which is a good thing for the dark meat.) I’ll be giving it a try soon with boned chicken thighs.
Looks easy and yummy, thanks for sharing. Is there a way to make that printable?
Share it to your printer as if you were sharing it to someone; use the .:
Looks delicious. What size sheet pan? Ty!
I would say whatever size you need to lay it all out like you see in the picture.
Looks amazing! I will definitely cook that dinner! Thank you for sharing.
Sounds delicious can’t wait to try it
Looks very good, can’t wait to try

Cette recette, parmi tant d’autres que vous proposez, est alléchante ! Mais je rencontre un souci général : les mesures ! Pourriez – vous être plus clair qu’avec l’once et plus précis qu’avec la tasse qui peut avoir des dimensions différentes d’un modèle à un autre ?
