A quick and easy Greek-inspired sheet pan dinner featuring juicy bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs roasted with colorful vegetables, lemon, and oregano for a flavorful and satisfying weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 cups halved baby potatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, cut into half-moons
  • 1 red onion, thickly sliced
  • Juice and zest of 1 large lemon
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: kalamata olives or crumbled feta cheese for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and zest, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Add chicken thighs to the bowl and toss until evenly coated in the marinade. Let sit while prepping vegetables.
  4. On a large sheet pan, arrange halved baby potatoes, sliced red bell pepper, sliced zucchini, and thickly sliced red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat.
  5. Nestle the marinated chicken thighs skin side up among the vegetables. Pour any leftover marinade over the veggies.
  6. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and skin is golden and crispy, and vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  7. If chicken skin is not crispy enough, broil for 2-3 minutes watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh oregano or parsley and serve with optional kalamata olives or feta.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before marinating for crispier skin. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even roasting. Use bone-in, skin-on chicken for best flavor and moisture. Rotate pan halfway through cooking if your oven has hot spots. Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer for doneness. Broil briefly if skin needs extra crisping. Leftovers reheat well in a low oven. Optional additions include kalamata olives or feta cheese for authentic Greek flavor.
