How to make Greek sheet pan chicken thighs

One of the great things about this recipe is that it only takes about 10 minutes of prep time. After that, the oven does the work!

First, preheat the oven to 425°.

In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Add the chicken thighs to a bowl and pour half of the marinade on top. Mix until the chicken is coated.

Then, add the veggies to a sheet pan and pour the remaining marinade on top. Stir to mix until the veggies are coated.

Tuck the chicken thighs on the sheet pan between the veggies. It’s okay if they’re slightly overlapping.

Bake for 15 minutes, and then add the feta, olives, and parsley on top of the chicken and veggies. Bake for another 15-20 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven when the internal chicken temperature reaches 165°F.

Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

What to serve with this recipe

Since this recipe includes a bunch of veggies, it definitely works as a one-dish meal! However, if you’re wanting something extra on the side, consider baked or mashed potatoes. Any potato dish makes for a simple but filling option.

Another idea is mac and cheese! You can never go wrong with mac and cheese.

And if you want a healthy side, perhaps some steamed or air fried asparagus is in order!

Have a bit of leftovers? That’s okay, this dish stores well!

After the leftover chicken thighs and vegetables are cooled, place them in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. Enjoy within 3 days.
