This one pan Greek Chicken Recipe is a low-mess, quick, and easy chicken recipe for any home cook.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 4 tbsp lemons juiced (about 1-2 lemons)
- 5 garlic cloves minced or crushed
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2-3 chicken breasts
- 2 zucchinis sliced
- 2 bell peppers sliced
- 1 small red onion sliced
- 0.5 pound cherry or grape tomatoes
- 0.3 cup feta cheese
Tsatsiki Sauce
- 0.5 cup cucumber grated
- 1 cup greek yogurt
- 0.5 lemon juiced (about 1 tbsp)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp dried dill
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 430°F. Cut chicken breasts into thirds and pound to 1/2 inch pieces.
- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, crushed or minced garlic, oregano, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Place chicken breasts into the bowl and coat each side with 2/3 of the marinade. Marinade for 10-15 minutes (or longer for a deeper flavor).
- Prepare and place the zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and tomatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle the remaining 1/3 marinade on top. Toss the veggies to coat it in the marinade.
- Once the chicken is finished marinading, add it to the baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes.
- Add feta cheese and bake for another 5-10 minutes.
Tsatsiki Sauce
- While the meal is baking, prepare the Tsatsiki sauce by mixing all ingredients (shredded cucumber, greek yogurt, lemon, olive oil, and spices).
- Add salt to taste.
Notes
- Chicken breast is my favorite cut of chicken, but chicken thighs would make a wonderful substitute.
- Lay parchment paper down on your sheet pan for quick and easy cleaning!
- Use a large sheet pan: Make sure you have enough space on your sheet pan to spread out the chicken and vegetables in a single layer. This ensures even cooking and a nice caramelized exterior.
- Each oven cooks differently, so make sure you check the readiness and temperature of your chicken and adjust cooking times accordingly.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that your chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Chicken should be cooked to 165°F.
- Let it rest: After removing the sheet pan from the oven, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier, more flavorful chicken.
