Sheet pan dinners are an absolute favorite in my kitchen. With just one pan, you get crispy roasted chicken, caramelized veggies, and bold Mediterranean flavor! There are no extra dishes or complicated steps. Just a wholesome meal that comes together in 40 minutes.
As a nutritionist, I always build meals around two key components: protein and vegetables. This Sheet Pan Greek Chicken checks both boxes. It is simple, flavorful, and nutrient-packed! We use juicy chicken thighs, a vibrant lemon-herb marinade, and a colorful mix of roasted vegetables. Then we finish with feta, capers, and fresh basil for a pop of brightness.
If you love the ease of sheet pan dinners, you’ll also enjoy my Sheet Pan Apple Cider Chicken with Fall Vegetables. Both recipes highlight how a single pan can deliver big flavor and plenty of wholesome ingredients with minimal clean-up.
This recipe is similar to my well-loved Instant Pot Greek Chicken, but here you get that delicious roasted texture that only an oven can deliver. I love this as a super easy dinner idea for a busy weeknight. It really is simple to make and clean-up is a breeze with only one pan!
You’ll love this Mediterranean Chicken Orzo Casserole for another one-pan, easy weeknight dinner option. It’s packed with tender chicken, vegetables, and creamy orzo, making it just as simple and flavorful as this sheet pan Greek chicken!
Quick Tips for Success
- Choose chicken thighs for a juicy, crispy result. Skin-on adds even more flavor, but skinless works too.
- Whisk a simple marinade using olive or avocado oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, oregano, and thyme. Save some to toss with your veggies.
- Start roasting your hearty vegetables first such as potatoes and bell peppers. Cherry tomatoes add juiciness and should be added with the chicken.
- Add flavor boosters like marinated artichoke hearts, capers, and crumbled feta at the end.
- Finish with fresh basil to bring all the flavors together.
How to Make Sheet Pan Greek Chicken
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and lightly grease a large sheet pan.
- Mix up your marinade. Pour most of it over the chicken and let it sit while you prep your veggies.
- Chop your vegetables and toss them in the reserved marinade.
- Spread veggies on the sheet pan and place chicken on top.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Add artichokes, capers, and feta, then bake another 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil before serving.
Serving and Storing
This meal stands on its own, but you can serve it with a salad like my Easy House Salad or Mediterranean Chickpea Salad to stretch it even further.

Excellent recipe. I added the lemon juice to the marinade. Very tasty, everything cooked through. I used chicken breasts and cut into thirds.
Wow, this was really delicious! I used sweet potatoes since I had some on hand and it turned out great!
This is a recipe that I keep making over and over everyone in my family loves it
Hello, made this tonight and was great. My bad for not reading the recipe all the way through before cooking, but you left the lemon ingredient out of the marinade in the actual recipe. Just FYI in case you want to edit your recipe. Thank you.
Just wondering when the lemon juice is added. Suspect it’s in the marinade? Fir the Healthy Shhet Pan Greek chicken recipe..,
Amazing dinner,5+++ !!!
Looks amazing! Would this work with thin sliced chicken breasts instead of thighs?
Is there any nutritional information for this meal? Also delicious! Thank you!
This recipe ROCKS! My family all but finished the entire dinner. Note: the instructions, #2, did NOT include adding lemon juice, so be sure to do so. Also, I upped the amount of olive oil and lemon juice because I added two chicken breasts to the six thighs and needed enough marinade to coat the vegetables. Also modified potatoes, using Yukon Gold baby potatoes, quartered and par-boiled before adding to the pan, plus, added kalamata olive slices. DELICIOUS!
Five stars for this recipe. The chicken was juicy, the marinade created a delicious flavor throughout for a very satisfying and healthy dinner. This will go on the weekly menu for awhile. *We did leave out the tomatoes as we are not a fan of roasted tomatoes.
So glad you loved it! Thanks for sharing.
This is a keeper. 6 kids and 2 adults at the taable and it was a hit with everyone! Easy to make and love that it is everything you need in a meal in one pan. Great meal to share with new mom or someone in need of a dinner. Thank you Amy for getting me through another meal!
