Looking for ‘meaty’ midweek meals the whole family will enjoy?

My top ‘chicken’ picks include these easy Greek chicken meatballs or these easy baked chicken thighs (both have air fryer or oven versions!).

Entertaining? You won’t go wrong with either this amazing roasted Greek chicken and potatoes (everyone loves it), or this delicious slow cooked Greek lamb (lamb kleftiko).

I also have a great list of 50 best easy side dishes for lamb, but you’ll also find great ideas there to go with any kind of meat main.

Also, don’t let your lamb leftovers go to waste! Check out this list of creative lamb leftovers ideas.

Just need a tasty marinade for a quick midweek meal, or a summer BBQ? You’ll love this Greek gyro seasoning!
