Cook Time: 70 minutes

Ingredients:

Nonstick cooking spray
2 pounds baby gold or red potatoes, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon Greek seasoning, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons lemon zest, plus more for garnish
1 (3 to 4-pound) whole chicken, cleaned and patted dry with paper towels
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon fresh dill (optional)

Directions:

Gather all the ingredients before starting the preparation process.
Preheat your oven to 400F (200C). Lightly coat a Bundt pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, red and green bell peppers, onion, and carrots. Add the olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Greek seasoning. Toss everything well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
Transfer the vegetable mixture into the bottom of the prepared Bundt pan. Spread them out evenly.
Sprinkle the whole chicken with the remaining Greek seasoning, making sure to coat it evenly.
Place the chicken with its cavity over the center of the Bundt pan, ensuring the legs are facing down on top of the vegetables.
Position the Bundt pan on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips during cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 10 minutes. The chicken is done when the juices run clear, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165F (74C). After 30 minutes of baking, cover the top half of the chicken with foil to prevent over-browning.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board or serving platter for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, toss the roasted vegetables with crumbled feta cheese and fresh dill (if using). Serve the vegetables alongside the sliced chicken.
Garnish with additional lemon zest and serve warm.

Easy Bundt Pan Roasted Greek Chicken and Vegetables Recipe

History of Easy Bundt Pan Roasted Greek Chicken and Vegetables

Roasting chicken with herbs and vegetables is a tradition that stretches back centuries in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly in Greece. Greek households have long embraced the use of fresh herbs, lemon, and olive oil to elevate simple ingredients. The innovative twist of using a Bundt pan for roasting, however, is a more modern American adaptation. Traditionally, Greeks would roast their chicken on a sheet pan or in a clay oven, allowing the juices to mingle with root vegetables. The Bundt pan method emerged as a clever way to ensure even heat distribution through the chicken cavity, producing juicier meat while simultaneously roasting the vegetables beneath in the flavorful drippings.

Regional Variations

While the foundation of this dish is unmistakably Greekwith oregano, garlic, and lemon as core seasoningsregional variations exist throughout Greece and the broader Mediterranean. In northern Greece, chefs might add smoked paprika or marjoram to accentuate the flavors, whereas in the southern islands, a touch of capers or sun-dried tomatoes could appear. In American kitchens, cooks often incorporate a mix of colorful bell peppers, carrots, and potatoes for both visual appeal and balanced nutrition, reflecting local availability of produce.

Differences from Similar Dishes

This recipe stands out from traditional roasted chicken dishes primarily because of the Bundt pan method. Unlike classic roasting on a flat pan, the chicken is perched over the center tube of the Bundt pan, allowing hot air to circulate inside the cavity, cooking the bird evenly from both inside and out. Compared to sheet-pan Greek chicken recipes, the Bundt pan approach results in juicier meat and vegetables infused with natural drippings, creating a more concentrated flavor profile. Additionally, the use of fresh dill and feta at the end adds a distinctive brightness that separates it from simpler herb-roasted chicken dishes.

Typical Serving Occasions

This dish is often served at family dinners, festive gatherings, or casual weekend meals. It pairs beautifully with a light Greek salad, crusty bread, or a side of tzatziki for an authentic Mediterranean experience. The visual appeal of colorful roasted vegetables surrounding a golden, perfectly cooked chicken makes it a centerpiece dish suitable for both weekday meals and celebratory occasions.

Interesting Facts

The Bundt pan, originally designed for baking cakes, has become a versatile tool in modern kitchens for roasting meats evenly.
Greek seasoning blends, often including oregano, garlic, onion, and sometimes mint, enhance flavors without adding excessive salt.
Serving roasted vegetables beneath the chicken allows them to absorb the drippings, creating a naturally rich and savory taste.
The addition of fresh dill at the end maximizes aroma and prevents the delicate herb from burning during roasting.
This method of roasting ensures that even the often-dry chicken breast stays moist while achieving a golden, crispy skin on the exterior.

FAQ about Easy Bundt Pan Roasted Greek Chicken and Vegetables Recipe

Store any leftover roasted chicken and vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Make sure the chicken is fully cooled before storing. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Yes, you can substitute other vegetables such as sweet potatoes, zucchini, or mushrooms for the potatoes, carrots, and peppers. Just ensure they are cut into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.

Yes, you can freeze the leftovers. Place the chicken and vegetables in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat thoroughly before serving.

If your vegetables are not fully cooked after the recommended baking time, simply return them to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes until they are tender.

Yes, you can use boneless chicken pieces, such as thighs or breasts, for a quicker cooking time. Just adjust the baking time, typically around 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces.

For crispier chicken skin, you can roast the chicken without covering it with foil during cooking. If you find the skin isn’t as crispy as you'd like, you can broil it for 3-5 minutes at the end of cooking to get it golden and crispy.

Yes, you can substitute Greek seasoning with other seasoning blends such as Italian seasoning, Cajun seasoning, or even a homemade mix of garlic powder, oregano, and thyme for a different flavor profile.

If you don’t have a Bundt pan, you can use any oven-safe pan that will hold the chicken and vegetables in a similar way, such as a roasting pan or a deep baking dish. Just make sure the chicken is positioned above the vegetables to allow the heat to circulate evenly.

Yes, you can add other fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano for additional flavor. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding chili flakes or paprika to the seasoning.

The chicken is fully cooked when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F (74°C). Additionally, the juices should run clear, not pink, when pierced near the bone.

My husband said this was delicious and I can keep it on my dinner rotation lol. He really doesn’t say that often either. I eyeballed the Greek seasoning so probably used double. Also added lemon juice to the veggies and chicken once done. Thx for a great recipe 😊

Excellent recipe. Have made similar dishes using wine and lemon juice or beer in the sheet pan for extra moisture and flavor to the chicken. One reviewer mentioned using tin foil over the bundt pan center opening, but that defeats the purpose of providing heat to the chicken cavity. My bundt pan is cast iron, but if one were concerned about the non stick coating on a bundt pan, many angel food cake pans are aluminum or stainless and would work as well.

Roasting a whole chicken on a bundt pan? What sorcery is this ! Even though I was skeptical at first and was looking for an actual bundt cake recipe, I couldn’t help but to make this chicken dish once I saw it. It turned out to be much easier than I thought and the result was juicy and delicious. The Greek seasoning makes everything taste ten times better and the fresh dill at the end gives it an even more complex aroma. You could also add other fresh herbs to taste. The vegetables are roasted perfectly and are so colorful to look at. What’s next on the bundt pan journey?

This was fabulous! Not all the veggies fit into to bundt pan so we spread the extra onto the foil covered jelly roll pan. The chicken was moist and full of flavor. I bought the Greek Seasoning on Amazon. Delicious.

I like this recipe for the ease of prep, for sure! Instead of using Greek seasoning, I used McCormick's Montreal Chicken seasoning. I cooked it for the hour and 10 minutes, but when I took my chicken off of the bundt pan it had juices which were not clear. I cranked up the heat to 425 degrees and cooked for 20 more minutes -- Perfect! Also, my vegetables weren't fully cooked so I cooked them for an additional 20 minutes at 425 degrees. I would definitely try this again, but I'd start at 425 degrees or 450 degrees for the first 30 minutes, then 400 degrees for the rest of the time. Delicious! Juicy! So good 😊

I didn’t make the Greek recipe, but I cooked the chicken in a Bundt pan with potatoes and onions and a different seasoning. It was the best roasted chicken I’ve ever made. I didn’t need to put foil over it. It browned nicely and was super juicy!

I really wanted to like this recipe. It was easy enough but the thighs and drums were underdone by the time the breasts were cooked. Great flavor...but next time I'll cook it in a roasting pan.

I'll stick with the conventional way, so that ALL of the chicken skin gets crispy!! After all, the SKIN is more nutritious than the meat.
