This recipe is perfect for meal preps and weeknights when you want a good meal but you don’t feel like making a ton of dishes. Spatchcock Chicken is a chicken that has been butterflied so that it can cook evenly. Now, to me this is the fanciest way to serve a whole chicken. There is something about the way a Spatchcock Chicken looks that says “I am lit in the kitchen and know what I’m doing when it comes to cooking”. This one pan dish has potatoes and carrots in it so you literally have an entire meal without the hassle of figuring out side dishes. This recipe is called Greek Spatchcock Chicken because I use Greek salad dressing and that is what gives it an amazing flavor. I used the Ken’s Steakhouse brand, however you can use any brand of your choice.
