How To Make Sheet Pan Greek Chicken
To make this Greek Sheet Pan Chicken, marinate chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs. Toss veggies with a similar mix, spread them on a sheet pan, and top with the chicken. Bake everything at 425°F for 30 minutes. Garnish with feta and tzatziki, and enjoy a vibrant Mediterranean feast!
Marinate the Chicken
- Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices in a zip-lock bag. Add chicken and mix until thoroughly coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let those flavors meld.
Prep the Veggies
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- Add the veggies to a bowl.
- Toss them with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices in a large bowl until evenly coated.
Bake:
- Spread the veggies on the sheet pan.
- Then, top with the marinated chicken pieces.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and serve with a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce. Pair with some warm pita bread or a simple side salad if you like.
Recipe Variations
- Chicken Breasts: Swap for boneless, skinless chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
- Veggies: Use yellow squash, eggplant, or mushrooms for variety.
- Dairy-Free: Skip the feta and use a dairy-free tzatziki or tahini sauce.
Storage Tips
Serve: Serve this dinner over brown rice, quinoa, or a simple green salad.
Store: Keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Freeze: Freeze the cooked chicken and veggies in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
Reheating: Warm in the oven at 350°F until heated through, about 15-20 minutes. Or microwave in 30-second intervals.
Recipe FAQs
You can substitute thighs for chicken breasts, but you may need to alter the cooking time as thighs tend to cook faster than breasts.
This meal can be made ahead of time and is an excellent option for meal prep. After placing the chicken in the marinade, put it in the fridge for up to twenty-four hours until you are ready to make the dish.
The best way to ensure the chicken is done is to use an internal meat thermometer to make sure the chicken has reached 165 degrees F.
