Method
 

Make the Greek Marinade

  2. Olive oil
  3. Lemon juice and zest
  4. Garlic
  5. Oregano
  6. Red wine vinegar
  7. Thyme
  8. Salt and pepper
  9. This creates a bright, herby marinade that infuses deep flavor into the chicken.
  10. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 12 hours for deeper flavor.
Prep the Vegetables
  1. On a large sheet pan:
  2. Add onions, bell peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, and olives.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
  5. Toss everything until evenly coated.
  6. Spread into an even layer for consistent roasting.
Add the Chicken to the Pan
  1. Place the marinated chicken on top of the vegetables.
  2. Make sure the pieces are not overlapping to ensure proper browning.
Roast Until Perfectly Golden
  1. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 30–35 minutes, or until:
  2. Chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F
  3. Veggies are tender and slightly caramelized
  4. If you want a little extra char, broil the sheet pan for the last 2–3 minutes.
Add Finishing Touches
  1. Once out of the oven:
  2. Squeeze fresh lemon over everything
  3. Sprinkle with feta
  4. Add chopped parsley
  5. Serve with tzatziki or warm pita
  6. These final touches add creaminess, brightness, and freshness.
