Sheet pan Greek chicken with peppers, red onion, olives and feta

Lemon, garlic and oregano are the heart of Greek home cooking, and they work beautifully on a pan of chicken and vegetables.

Serve with warm pita, rice or a cucumber and tomato salad.

Instructions

  1. Marinate. Whisk the oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Toss with the chicken and let stand 15 minutes (or refrigerate up to 8 hours).
  2. Heat the oven. Heat the oven to 425°F.
  3. Roast. Spread the chicken, peppers and onion on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast 20 minutes. Add the olives and roast 8 to 10 minutes more, until the chicken reaches at least 165°F.
  4. Finish. Scatter with feta and parsley and serve.

Tips

  • Boneless breasts work too; cut them into large pieces so they do not dry out.
  • Add cherry tomatoes with the olives for extra color.
