Table of contents Ingredient Notes * How to Make Greek Sheet Pan Chicken * Serving Suggestions * Storage Tips Ingredient Notes Chicken: Look for medium boneless skinless chicken breasts that are close to the same size so they’ll cook evenly. * Vegetables: Zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced, cherry and/or tomatoes in assorted colors, and thickly sliced red onion. I could easily add chopped bell peppers to this mix too. * Potatoes: Baby potatoes sliced in half so they’ll cook at the same rate with the chicken and other veggies. * Oil: Extra virgin olive oil. * Dry seasoning: Garlic powder, oregano, thyme, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. * Fresh herbs: A little fresh parsley – flat leaf or curly. * Garlic: Minced (either the jarred variety or fresh garlic). * Cheese: Crumbled feta cheese. * Lemons: Meyer lemons are always my first choice but regular lemons will work just fine.
How to Make Greek Sheet Pan Chicken1. Score the chicken: Using a sharp knife, score the chicken breast in a grid pattern, making sure you don’t cut all the way through (slice across width 5 to 6 times then rotate the chicken and slice lengthwise to create a cross-hatch pattern). Place the pieces of chicken on a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray. 2. Prep the veggies: Place the potatoes, zucchini, tomatoes, and onion in a large bowl and toss with olive oil and the seasonings and spread them around the chicken. 3. Stuff the chicken: In the empty veggie bowl, combine the ingredients for the feta mixture and spread it over each piece of chicken. Tuck a halved lemon on the baking sheet between some of the veggies. 4. Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to a preheated 425 degree oven and cook for 35 to 40 minutes or until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. For a nice golden brown crust, set the oven to broil and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. 5. Finish: If there is a lot of excess liquid on the baking sheet, you can pour or spoon it off (drizzle a little over the chicken, if desired). When the roasted lemons are cool enough to handle, squeeze the lemon juice over everything, garnish with a little fresh parsley, if you’d like, and serve.
Something really nice happens to lemons when they are roasted. They become tender and super juicy and the heat intensifies the flavor and sweetness of fresh lemon juice.
Serving SuggestionsThis Greek sheet pan meal is just calling out for a bowl of freshly made Tzatziki Sauce for dipping. And while you’re at it, why not bake up a batch of Homemade Pita Chips. Check out my entire collection of Greek recipes for more ideas.
