Greek Sheetpan Chicken

📝 Ingredients

• Chicken/Veggies:
• 2 regular packs (or 1 large pack) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 container cherry tomatoes
• 2 zucchini, sliced
• ½ red onion, sliced
• 1 can artichoke hearts, drained
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
• ½ cup Kalamata olives
• ¼ cup garlic cloves, whole or sliced in half
• Marinade:
• 1 cup avocado oil or olive oil
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon thyme
• 1 tablespoon oregano
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• For Serving:
• White Rice or Cauliflower Rice (microwave bag)

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 425°F.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, oregano, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

3. 3

   Pour about ¾ of the marinade over the chicken thighs in a large bowl. Toss well to coat and let the chicken marinate while you prepare the vegetables. Reserve the remaining ¼ of the marinade for the vegetables.

4. 4

   Add the bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, red onion, artichokes, and garlic cloves to a large sheet pan. Drizzle with the reserved marinade and toss until everything is evenly coated. Sprinkle lightly with additional salt if desired.

5. 5

   Nestle the marinated chicken thighs between the vegetables on the sheet pan.

6. 6

   Bake for 15 minutes.

7. 7

   Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the feta cheese and Kalamata olives over everything.

8. 8

   Return the pan to the oven and continue baking for 5–10 more minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

9. 9

   Serve over cooked white rice or cauliflower rice and spoon plenty of the roasted vegetables over the top. Finish with extra feta cheese if desired.

💡 Tips for Success

• Chicken thighs stay incredibly juicy, but chicken breasts can also be used.
• Cut your vegetables into similar-sized pieces so everything cooks evenly.
• Don't skip adding the feta until the end. This keeps it soft and creamy instead of drying out.
• Fresh lemon juice really brightens the flavors, so it's worth using instead of bottled.
