Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 430°F. Cut chicken breasts into thirds and pound to 1/2 inch pieces.
  2. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, crushed or minced garlic, oregano, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  3. 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).
  4. 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.
  5. Once the chicken is finished marinading, add it to the baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes.
  6. Add feta cheese and bake for another 5-10 minutes.
Tsatsiki Sauce
  1. While the meal is baking, prepare the Tsatsiki sauce by mixing all ingredients (shredded cucumber, greek yogurt, lemon, olive oil, and spices).
  2. 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.
