Healthy Greek Sheet Pan Chicken

This Greek Sheet Pan Chicken recipe is a delicious, healthy and flavorful dinner idea. It is an all-in-one meal that packs in vegetables, protein and is so simple and easy to make any night of the week.

I love sheet pan dinners!! Like love! This is one of my go-to sheet pan recipes to make. It’s flavorful, healthy and doesn’t require much effort to make. Sure, cutting up the veggies can take time. But they don’t need to be chopped, just sliced and you can also try to put pre-sliced veggies if that makes it easier for you.

I love the flavors in this dish and how the baked olives and feta cheese come together to make the dish so delicious. I love baked feta in any form and in conjunction with the veggies and chicken, it is so good!

What makes this recipe even better though is how versatile it is. I love serving this with some rice, lentils, pita chips, with a salad, anything you want. This was great for my family because my kids ate the chicken, olives and cheese with some rice. I had it with everything but the tomatoes with some lentils and pita bread. And my husband had this with lentils and extra feta (he loves cheese!).

I cannot wait for you guys to try this recipe and for you to get it on the rotation. Keep me posted if you try this dish! I cannot wait to hear what you think.

What ingredients you need to make this sheet pan dinner:

• Avocado oil or olive oil – either oil can work for this recipe
• Dijon mustard – I love the flavor that dijon mustard adds to this recipe
• Lemon – fresh lemon juice works best for this recipe
• Garlic cloves – if you don’t have fresh garlic, use garlic powder but I love garlic cloves for this
• Oregano – dried oregano for the marinade 
• Zucchini – cut into quarters then halved. I love adding the zucchini to this dish!
• Onion – it can be red onion or white onion, really any can work
• Bell pepper – I used yellow but really any can work
• Cherry tomatoes 
• Kalamata olives – pitted olives are a must for these! Don’t want to deal with eating pits with your olives
• Feta cheese crumbles – you could also use goat cheese if you wanted to instead
• Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts – I usually do chicken thighs for these but if you prefer breasts, go for it! You would need to lessen the cook time for these. Usually they need 20 minutes

FAQs and tips on making this Greek sheet pan chicken recipe:

• Feel free to use any veggies you want for this. Potatoes, carrots, broccoli, anything else you may be craving!
• My sheet pan has a lot of liquid on it, did I do something wrong? Not at all! The juices from the chicken and veggies will run onto the sheet pan. Makes the dish more juicy! Discard when you remove from pan.
• Can I use chicken breasts or only thighs? Either work! Lessen the overall cook time by 10 minutes as chicken breasts require less cooking time than thighs and thighs don’t dry out easily like breasts.
• How should I serve this? You can add some rice, lentils, add to pita bread, anything you want! I love serving this with some pita chips.
