If you’re wondering what to serve with your Greek chicken, you’ve come to the right place.

In this article, I list 39 of the most popular side dishes for Greek chicken.

In a rush? Here’s the short answer.

The best dishes to serve with Greek chicken are sourdough pita bread, Greek quinoa salad, Spanakorizo, and lemon potato salad. You can also go with zucchini balls, stuffed peppers, braised French lentils, and Greek roasted vegetables. For an unusual but tasty option, try Asiago alfredo pasta.

Ready? Let’s jump right in.

Sourdough pita bread

Step up your pita game by swapping the yeast for an active sourdough starter.

This simple swap results in an unbelievably soft pita with a subtle tangy flavor you don’t get from the classic recipe.

For best results you should rest the dough overnight, but you can skip this if you need your bread asap.

Why we love this recipe: it’s highly detailed and shares a baking schedule you can follow.

Greek quinoa salad

Beef up the standard Greek salad with some quinoa.

It’s packed with tons of protein and fiber, making sure you feel full for longer. And it will soak up the zesty vinaigrette wonderfully.

Pop a few slices of Greek chicken over the salad for a light, nourishing lunch.

Why we love this recipe: any leftovers can be kept for up to four days.

Spanakorizo

Have you ever tried Spanakorizo?

It’s a classic Greek rice dish with spinach and fresh green herbs like chives and dill.

This dish is tasty enough to be served alone (with lemon wedges on the side and some grated feta on top). But it pairs deliciously with grilled some Greek chicken too.

Why we love this recipe: it has a 4.66 rating from 132 votes.

Spinach and feta stuffed peppers

I love Greek spinach pie (otherwise known as spanakopita). But when I’m im a rush these spinach and feta stuffed peppers hit the spot.

They’re way easier to make than spanakopita because there’s no need to deal with delicate sheets of phyllo dough.

Just steam the peppers and stuff them with the spinach mixture.

It’s that easy.

Why we love this recipe: they’re great for meal prep.

Lemon potato salad

Creamy potato salads will always have a place in my heart, but this version is my go-to for a Greek themed meal.

The most important step of this recipe is dousing the freshly boiled spuds with the bright, zesty dressing and leaving them to marinate – ideally overnight.

The hot potatoes act like sponges, soaking up all the tasty goodness from the dressing. Yum!

Why we love this recipe: it’s fuss-free.

Greek zucchini balls

To ensure these Greek zucchini balls become delightfully crisp and golden, you’ll need to remove the vegetable’s excess moisture before cooking.

This recipe recommends doing so by salting the grated zucchini and letting it drain on a colander for about 15-20 minutes.

Enjoy a platter of these highly addictive treats alongside your Greek chicken and tzatziki sauce for dipping.

Why we love this recipe: you’re guaranteed no leftovers.

Grilled asparagus

Roasted asparagus spears are great, but they’re even better when grilled.

Not only do they get those charred, crisp edges, but the spears also develop a delectable smoky flavor that pairs well with the lemony marinade on the chicken.

Just a heads up – choose thicker spears so they don’t fall through the grill grates.

Why we love this recipe: each serving only adds 42 calories to your meal.

Baked eggplant fries

Potato fries will always go well with Greek chicken, but if you want to switch things up, why not make eggplant fries instead?

Eggplants are an excellent low-carb alternative to spuds, plus they’re packed with Vitamins C and K, as well as potassium.

This recipe recommends a marinara dipping sauce, but they would also go great with tzatziki.

Why we love this recipe: it also has instructions for making these in the air fryer.

Greek roasted vegetables

Making roasted veggies the Greek way requires a little more effort than just tossing them in a sheet pan.

But don’t worry, most of it is just prep work like slicing and arranging the veggies. Plus, it’s well worth it once you see and taste this fabulous dish.

Pro-tip: use a mandoline slicer to keep everything even.

Why we love this recipe: it looks as good as it tastes.

Braised French lentils

Wondering what to do with that bag of lentils that doesn’t involve soup or curry?

Try braising them with simple aromatics. This method will have the lentils bursting with flavor while still allowing them to maintain their shape.

They’re great with everything, and I especially love them with Greek chicken for a protein-loaded dinner.

Why we love this recipe: it’s super budget friendly.

Asiago garlic alfredo pasta

There are many different versions of alfredo pasta, but this recipe has to be my favorite.

You might be raising your eyebrow at the addition of cream cheese but hear me out, it makes the sauce extra rich. So don’t skip it!

And mixing in chunks of Greek chicken takes this simple pasta to a whole other level.

Why we love this recipe: it makes for a delicious, indulgent, and filling meal.

Tzatziki

This isn’t technically a side dish, but you can’t have Greek food and not serve this classic dip on the side.

The grated cucumbers and tangy sour cream create a refreshing condiment for your juicy chicken.

This recipe calls for full-fat Greek yogurt, but sour cream or creme fraiche will work too.

Why we love this recipe: it tastes as good as the best Greek restaurant versions.

Greek lettuce salad

This salad is super simple, but you have to get the details right.

One of the most important steps is thinly chopping the romaine and massaging it with the dressing to soften and infuse it with flavor.

You can serve this leafy salad on the side, but I prefer to chop the Greek chicken and mix it in for a delicious one-bowl meal.

Why we love this recipe: you can use the dressing for other salad recipes and even as a marinade for meat.
