What’s In This Sheet Pan Dinner?

What really makes this recipe is the bright and bold Greek chicken marinade. It adds a ton of flavor to an otherwise simple chicken dinner. Here’s what you’ll need to fill up the sheet pan.

Chicken Thighs: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are the best for super juicy and tender meat.
Vegetables: I’m using a combination of zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and tomatoes. But keep reading for a few more veggie substitutions!
Dried Herbs: A blend of oregano and thyme are classic flavors used in Greek dishes.
Lemon, Olive Oil & Dijon Mustard: The trifecta that makes the zesty, bold base for the chicken marinade.
Olives & Feta Cheese: It’s not a Greek recipe without olives and creamy feta!
Fresh Herbs: A sprinkle of parsley always adds the perfect herbal pop.

A Few Questions Answered

Can you use chicken breast? Because of the longer cooking time to get the vegetables perfectly caramelized, it’s best to use bone-in chicken thighs. Baked chicken breasts only need about 20 to 25 minutes to cook before they start to dry out.
What other vegetables can be substituted? If you’re not in squash season, you can substitute it with potato wedges or artichokes.

Always remember that every oven cooks slightly differently.

Alternatively, if the tops are cooking too quickly, you can lower the rack in the oven or reduce the temperature slightly.
