🔪 How to Make Greek Sheet Pan Chicken with Feta

In a small mixing bowl, add in the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Whisk until well combined.

Add the chicken to a food storage bag, then pour ⅔ of the marinade over the chicken.

Seal up the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken, making sure all sides are well coated.  Marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet.

Add the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini to a large mixing bowl. Pour the remaining ⅓ of the marinade over the top and toss to combine.

Pour the veggies around the chicken, then bake for 15 minutes.

Take the sheet pan out of the oven and add the tomatoes and Kalamata olives over the veggies.  

Continue baking for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches a temperature of at least 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.

Add the crumbled feta, chopped parsley, or mint, and pour the pan juices over the top. Serve with a squeeze of lemon.

💡 Greek Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner Tips

Sheet pan recipes are straightforward and easy by nature. But here are a few basic tips to keep in mind.

• Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade by massaging it on all sides.

• For the best flavor, don’t rush the marinating time. It really helps the flavors penetrate the meat.  

• To ensure everything is done at the same time, stagger the addition of the ingredients as directed.

• Invest in a meat thermometer. For safety reasons, make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F using a meat thermometer. 

• Take advantage of those scrumptious pan juices and use them to pour over mashed potatoes or rice.

☑️ Storage Instructions

Fridge: Store any leftover Greek roasted chicken thighs and veggies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezer: If you want to freeze leftovers, let them cool, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or use freezer-safe containers. They can be frozen for up to 2 months for the best quality.

Reheating: To reheat, allow the dish to thaw overnight in the fridge. You can warm the dish up in the microwave or in the oven.

🍴 What to Serve with Sheet Pan Greek Chicken

Because this is a complete meal in one, you don't have to serve anything else with it. But if you want to drizzle the pan juices over a starch, here are my top picks:

• Air Fryer Baked Potato
• Quinoa, white or brown rice
• Mashed Cauliflower (not a starch, but a low carb alternative)
• Home Fries
• Air Fryer Baby Potatoes

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Chicken: Instead of thighs, you can use chicken breasts, drumsticks, or a combination based on your preference. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.

• Artichoke hearts: Add quartered canned artichoke hearts for an extra layer of Mediterranean flavor.

• Capers: Toss in a tablespoon or two of capers for an extra briny and tangy kick.

• Roasted garlic: Include roasted garlic cloves for a mellow and sweet garlic flavor.

• Vegetables: Feel free to swap or add other vegetables like eggplant, mushrooms, or asparagus.

• Cheese: Experiment with different cheeses, such as goat cheese or Parmesan, instead of feta.

• Herbs: For a different flavor, you can try different herbs like basil, thyme, or dill.

• Olives: If you can’t find Kalamata olives, you can use black olives instead.

Can I Prep this Meal in Advance?

Sure. You can add the marinated chicken and veggies to a sheet pan the night before, then bake it the next day.

What Can I Do with Leftovers?

To give new life to leftovers, swap things up. Shred the chicken and add it to the veggies with a green salad. You can make a quick wrap for lunch with the leftovers using these homemade tortillas. Or, for a really tasty meal, add them to a rice bowl or a quinoa bowl.

Do I Leave the Skin on Chicken Thighs When Baking?

You can use either skinless or skin-on. You can also use bone-in if you prefer. Keep in mind that if you use bone-in thighs with skin, you will want to increase the baking time.

How Can I Make This Dish Dairy Free?

Feta is a dairy product, so you'll want to omit it. You can replace it with a dairy free cheese made from even parboiled potatoes.

Why are There So Many Juices in the Pan?

The chicken releases juices as it cooks, as do the veggies. They make a delicious sauce to drizzle over the finished dish.
