Air-Fryer Greek Chicken Saganaki Feta Pots

Easy air-fryer greek chicken saganaki feta pots with measured UK ingredients, practical timings and proper global chicken flavour.

Saganaki is less a single recipe than a promise that something hot, salty and excellent is coming in a little pan. Here it is chicken in a punchy tomato sauce under a generous layer of feta.

The air fryer browns the chicken, blisters the tomatoes and softens the feta without turning the whole dish watery. It is a proper scoop-and-mop dinner, especially with warm pita within grabbing distance.

You’ll Need

For the Chicken
650g boneless chicken thigh fillets, cut into chunks
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper

For the Saganaki Pots
300g cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 tsp red wine vinegar
½ tsp chilli flakes
150g feta, crumbled
60g Kalamata olives

To Finish
Fresh oregano
Lemon wedges

Optional but Dangerous
Warm pita
Extra feta
A spoonful of tzatziki

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.

Toss the chicken with the olive oil, dried oregano, salt and black pepper.

Air fry for 9 minutes, shaking halfway, until the edges are browned.

Divide the tomatoes, onion, garlic, tomato puree, vinegar and chilli between heatproof pots.

Air fry the pots at 190°C for 6 minutes, stirring once.

Add the chicken and olives, then stir everything through the softened tomatoes.

Scatter the feta over the top and return to the air fryer for 6-8 minutes.

Check the chicken reaches 75°C and the feta is lightly golden at the edges.

Rest for 2 minutes.

Finish with fresh oregano and lemon wedges and serve with warm pita.

Lad Tip: Do not stir the feta in. Leave it on top so the edges bronze while the middle stays creamy, giving you both textures in the same spoonful.
