Step-by-Step Preparation: How to Make Greek Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Make the Marinade
In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Toss Chicken and Veggies
Add chicken slices and all the chopped veggies to the bowl. Toss everything together until evenly coated in the marinade.
Step 4: Spread on Sheet Pan
Spread everything out in a single layer on your sheet pan. Make sure not to overcrowd — use two pans if needed.
Step 5: Roast to Perfection
Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping the chicken and veggies halfway through. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and the veggies are caramelized and tender.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with feta and chopped fresh herbs before serving.
Pair this with our Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Wedges or Tuna Salad for a balanced plate.
Pro Tips for the Best Greek Sheet Pan Chicken and Veggies
- Cut everything evenly to ensure even cooking
- Don’t skip the flip halfway through for best caramelization
