Description

Greek Sheet Pan Chicken is a one-pan Mediterranean dinner made with juicy chicken thighs, roasted vegetables, olives, and feta, all tossed in a bright lemon-oregano marinade. This easy, healthy recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.


Ingredients

  • Main Ingredients:
  • 68 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into half-moons
  • 1 large tomato, sliced into wedges
  • ¼ cup Kalamata olives
  • ¼ cup Castelvetrano olives (optional)
  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled or cubed
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Lemon-Oregano Marinade:
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ¾ cup olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 12 teaspoons dried oregano
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment or foil.
  2. Whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Toss vegetables on the sheet pan with about ¼ of the marinade.
  4. Season chicken with salt and pepper, place on the pan, and drizzle with remaining marinade.
  5. Scatter olives and feta over the pan.
  6. Roast for 35–40 minutes, until chicken is golden and cooked through. Broil for 2–3 minutes for crisp edges if desired.
  7. Let rest briefly, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Swap chicken thighs for chicken breasts or shrimp, adjusting cook time.
  • Add grains like couscous or rice for a heartier meal.
  • Use goat cheese for a creamy alternative to feta.
  • Crushed red pepper flakes add heat to the marinade.
  • Great for meal prep—just portion out and store for lunches.
