Ingredients

Scale
  • 56 Chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup Avocado oil or olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1 tsp Dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1 Bell pepper (red, orange, or yellow)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and lightly grease a large sheet pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, and sea salt to make the marinade. Reserve some marinade for later and pour the rest over the chicken thighs, marinating for about 10 minutes.

  4. Spread the veggies on the sheet pan and drizzle with reserved marinade, tossing to coat.
  5. Nestle the marinated chicken thighs on top of the veggies and roast for about 25 minutes.
  6. Add the artichoke hearts, capers, and crumbled feta cheese to the pan and return to the oven for another 8–10 minutes until the chicken is golden and fully cooked.
  7. Top with fresh basil and serve hot.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 10 minutes. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

How to Make Healthy Sheet Pan Greek Chicken Dinner

Gather these fresh ingredients, and we’ll bring Mediterranean flair to your kitchen in no time!

Ingredients:

  • 5 – 6 Chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup Avocado oil or olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1 tsp Dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1 Bell pepper (red, orange, or yellow)
  • 1/2 large Red onion
  • 4 med Yukon gold potatoes
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup Capers (or olives)
  • 1/2 cup Marinated artichoke hearts
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese
  • 1/3 cup Fresh basil

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Use a little oil to lightly grease a large sheet pan, ensuring nothing sticks.
  2. In a large bowl, place the chicken thighs. Whisk together the marinade using the olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, and sea salt. Reserve a few tablespoons of the marinade for later, then pour the rest over the chicken, allowing it to soak up those beautiful flavors for about 10 minutes.
  3. While the chicken marinades, prep your veggies. Dice the Yukon gold potatoes and bell peppers into small chunks. Slice the red onion into rings and leave the cherry tomatoes whole for bursts of flavor.
  4. Spread the prepared veggies across the sheet pan, drizzling the reserved marinade over the top. Toss everything together to ensure the vegetables are nicely coated in that delicious marinade.
  5. Nestle the marinated chicken thighs on top of the veggies and pop the sheet pan into the oven. Roast for about 25 minutes, letting the succulent chicken and veggies mingle and cook through.
  6. At the 25-minute mark, remove the pan and sprinkle in the artichoke hearts, capers, and crumbled feta cheese. Return to the oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked, and the veggies are perfectly roasted.
  7. Once ready, remove from the oven and top with fresh basil. Season with a pinch of salt if needed, and serve hot!

Storing Your Sheet Pan Greek Chicken

Tips for Perfect Greek Chicken Every Time

  • Make sure to marinate your chicken! Even a short 10-minute soak makes a world of difference in flavor.
  • Feel free to mix and match your veggies based on what you have on hand—zucchini and carrots make great substitutes.
  • Keep an eye on the cooking time, as oven temperatures can vary. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Variations to Try

If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding olives or swapping out the feta for a different cheese like goat cheese for a tangy twist. You could also transform the dish by using different cuts of chicken, such as breasts or drumsticks.
