A quick and easy Greek-inspired sheet pan dinner featuring juicy marinated chicken thighs and vibrant roasted vegetables, perfect for family meals and busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts if preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 1 large lemon
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or fresh sprigs
  • Optional garnish: crumbled feta cheese, fresh parsley chopped, fresh lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine chicken thighs with 3 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly and marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
  2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). On a large rimmed baking sheet, spread red onion wedges, red and yellow bell pepper slices, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini half-moons. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle dried thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat.
  3. Nestle the marinated chicken thighs on top of the veggies, spacing them evenly. Pour any leftover marinade over the chicken and veggies.
  4. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through (about 15 minutes), use tongs to turn the chicken and stir the veggies for even cooking. Chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) internally and veggies should be tender with caramelized edges.
  5. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley if desired. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Marinate chicken for longer if possible for juicier flavor. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Cherry tomatoes can be added halfway through roasting to avoid bursting. For dairy-free, omit feta or use a dairy-free alternative. Bone-in thighs can be used but increase roasting time to 35-40 minutes.
