Easy Sheet Pan Greek Chicken + Tutorial!
Ahh, Greece… sunbaked sandy beaches, lapis blue ocean waters and the air subtly scented with wild oregano. Yes, I’m dreaming right now…
I’ve always wanted to visit Greece, but until I can make that magical trip, I’m happily making do with this delicious and easy to make Sheet Pan Greek Chicken.
I shared my recipe for Sheet Pan Moroccan Chicken earlier this year, so you know that dinner can be ready in a little more than 30 minutes. Sheet Pan Dinners are especially wonderful because everything is blended together in one pan, so cleanup is a quick and easy.
This Sheet Pan Greek Chicken is loaded with the flavors of the Mediterranean, like oregano, lemons, artichokes and pine nuts. The red bell pepper adds color and crunch and the feta adds a subtle tangy saltiness. You can print the gluten-free recipe… and scroll down for the tutorial.
I threw in some pitted Kalamata olives because they’ve got an interesting (but mild!) umami taste… but you can always leave them out.
If you can’t actually get to Greece…this dish will carry you there. It’s the next best thing to being in Santorini… (well, kinda!).
