Make a flavorful, juicy Mediterranean dinner with this simple sheet pan recipe featuring chicken marinated in lemon, garlic, and oregano, roasted alongside fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
  • 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried dill (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for tossing vegetables)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (for topping)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, pepper, and dill to create the marinade.
  2. Place the cut chicken pieces into a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, toss to coat completely, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours. Reserve the remaining half of the marinade.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  4. In a separate bowl, toss the red onion wedges, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Arrange the marinated chicken pieces among the vegetables on the sheet pan, ensuring everything has some space for even cooking.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven. Drizzle the reserved marinade over the hot chicken and vegetables. This adds moisture and flavor.
  8. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the entire pan. Return to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, just until the feta softens slightly.
  9. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. This easy dinner is a great alternative to relying on meal planning services.

Notes

  • For extra juicy chicken, use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
  • If you prefer grilling, marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour, then grill over medium-high heat until done.
  • This recipe is healthy and fits well if you are looking for alternatives to weight loss programs.
  • For a complete meal, serve this over brown rice or alongside a simple green salad.
