Ingredients

Scale

1 red pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 yellow pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 red onion, cut into eighths
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup artichoke hearts
1 lemon, cut into wedges
2 large chicken breasts (cut in half) or 4 chicken thighs
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
2/3 cup Kalamata olives
1/4 cup feta cheese, chopped (optional for Paleo/Whole30)

Optional substitutions:

Replace feta cheese with Dairy-Free Cheese if following a Paleo diet.
For a spicier kick, add crushed red pepper flakes.

Instructions

Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2:
On a large sheet pan or roasting tray, add the chopped red and yellow peppers, red onion, artichoke hearts, lemon wedges, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 3:
In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, and oregano. Pour about 1/3 of the mixture over the veggies, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss until everything is well-coated.

Step 4:
Place the chicken pieces on top of the veggies and brush them with more of the marinade. Pop the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 25 minutes.

Step 5:
Remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the olives, chopped basil, and feta cheese (if using). Pour the remaining marinade over everything and roast for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (no longer pink in the center).

Step 6:
Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve immediately.

Notes

Here are some Sheet Pan Greek Chicken tips to make the dish even more delightful:

Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables will yield the best flavors. Opt for vine-ripened cherry tomatoes and freshly squeezed lemon juice for extra zing.
Even Slicing: For consistent cooking, make sure to chop the vegetables into even-sized pieces.
Chicken Alternatives: This recipe works well with boneless chicken thighs, which tend to stay juicier.
