My Greek sheet pan chicken dinner with potatoes gets a complete dinner on the table in one-pan in under 45 minutes! Perfect for weeknight dinner or meal prep since it reheats perfectly. Trust me, it’s a winner, winner sheet pan chicken dinner!
Sheet Pan Greek Chicken and Potatoes Makes Dinner Easy
Okaaaaay, let’s talk about this chicken sheet pan dinner, shall we? The simple lemon-garlic marinade is literally five pantry ingredients whisked together, and you don’t have to wait around for chicken to soak for hours. Then you just need to toss potatoes and vegetables with half the marinade, give them a head start in the oven, then add the chicken with the rest. One pan, two stages, done in 45 minutes. It’s really a winner, winner sheet pan chicken dinner!
I designed this meal so you’re not standing over the stove or timing three different pots, but I did tinker with the timing to give you the best flavor outcome (same strategy with my top-rated sheet pan chicken shawarma). Vegetables go in first because potatoes need more time than chicken, and then everything finishes together while you’re doing literally anything else. It’s the kind of dinner that works on a Tuesday when you’re exhausted or Sunday when you need five lunches handled.
This one does taste like actual Greek food, but streamlined for weeknights by skipping the marinating overnight or roasting a whole chicken. You still get that olive oil, lemon, oregano vibe with boneless chicken that cooks fast, plus you can swap based on what’s in your fridge! It’s comforting without being heavy, reheats better than most sheet pan dinners, and the leftovers somehow taste even better on day three. It’s definitely become a go-to around here, and I hope it does for you, too! And if you prefer a hands-off version, my slow cooker Greek chicken delivers the same bold flavors with zero oven time.
Welcome to My Kitchen, Let’s Bake Sheet Pan Greek Chicken!
Testing Notes for Sheet Pan Greek Chicken Thighs
- Don’t skip giving the potatoes a 10-minute head start or they’ll still be hard when the chicken’s done! I learned this the annoying way. They need that time to soften before the chicken goes in.
- Line the pan with parchment instead of just oil or spray. The lemon marinade can stick and burn on bare metal, and parchment makes cleanup take about 10 seconds instead of scrubbing.
- The feta goes on after everything’s out of the oven, not before. I’ve baked it on top thinking it would get all melty and good but it just dries out and gets weird. Crumble it over at the end so it stays creamy.
Greek Sheet Pan Chicken (with Potatoes)
Ingredients
For the Marinade:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
For the Sheet Pan:
- 1-2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, sliced into thin wedges (about ¾ pounds)
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 1 large bell pepper (any color), sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts), cut into bite-sized pieces
At the End
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup crumbled feta
Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment for easier cleanup or spray with cooking spray.
- Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the Sheet Pan: Add the potatoes, onion, bell pepper, and zucchini to the sheet pan. Pour over half the marinade and toss to coat well (use your hands or tongs to make sure everything is evenly coated) and spread evenly over the pan.
- Roast: Roast for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are beginning to soften but are still too firm to eat.
- Remove from the oven, toss the veggies, then scoot them to the side.
- Add the chicken to the other side of the pan, drizzle with the remaining marinade, tossing to coat the chicken in the marinade. Return the oven and roast for 15-20 additional minutes, stirring halfway through, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are golden and tender.
- Optional: Broil for 2-4 minutes to caramelize the tomatoes and brown the edges.
- Serve and Finish: Stir in the cherry tomatoes to warm through, then serve with feta on top.
- Optional to serve: chopped parsley, prepared tzatziki.
Notes
- Thighs vs. Breasts: I’ve tried both chicken thighs and breasts, and thighs are less likely to dry out, but if you’re using breasts just cut them smaller so they stay juicy. Either way, bite-sized pieces cook faster and get more surface area for that yummy marinade.
- Tomatoes: I tested adding the tomatoes at different stages and they add a lot of moisture if you roast them the whole time. Stir them in at the very end just to warm through, or hit them under the broiler for 2 minutes if you want them blistered.
- Potatoes: Slice to the correct size or they won’t cook in the given time. See my step-by-step photos for reference.
- Tzatziki: Optional, but a yummy addition. Or my lemon garlic yogurt sauce in this recipe is great, too.
