Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced into wedges
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Marinade
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Optional & Garnish
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta (optional)
- Fresh parsley or dill for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper if desired for easier cleanup.
- Make the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a bright and flavorful marinade.
- Toss Chicken and Veggies: Add the sliced chicken breasts along with all the prepared vegetables to the marinade bowl. Toss thoroughly until everything is evenly coated with the marinade.
- Spread on Sheet Pan: Arrange the marinated chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the sheet pan. Avoid overcrowding; use two pans if necessary to ensure proper roasting.
- Roast to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes. Flip the chicken and vegetables halfway through cooking to promote even caramelization and tenderness. The chicken should be fully cooked and the veggies tender and slightly caramelized.
- Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese if using and garnish with fresh parsley or dill before serving for an extra burst of flavor and color.
Notes
- Chicken: Boneless skinless chicken breasts work well, but boneless skinless thighs can be used for a juicier texture.
- Veggie swaps: Feel free to add or replace with broccoli, green beans, carrots, asparagus, or eggplant.
- Cheese: Feta cheese adds a salty, creamy finish; you can skip it or use a dairy-free feta alternative if needed.
- Lemon: Fresh lemon juice is essential for a bright flavor profile.
- Even cooking: Slice chicken thin and chop vegetables evenly for fast, tender cooking.
- Flip halfway: Turning the ingredients halfway through helps achieve even roasting and caramelization.
- Don’t overcrowd: Avoid crowding the pan to prevent steaming; use two pans if necessary.
- Rest: Let the dish rest a few minutes after baking so juices reabsorb.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat: Reheat in the microwave or warm in a skillet with a splash of olive oil to refresh texture.
- Freeze: Freeze cooked portions for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before reheating.
- Make-ahead: Chop veggies and marinate the chicken the night before for convenience; assemble just before roasting.
- Serving ideas: Serve over quinoa, couscous, cauliflower rice, warm pita, or mixed greens with tzatziki sauce.
- Flavor add-ins: Try adding kalamata olives, chickpeas, chili flakes, smoked paprika, or substitute halloumi for feta.
