Greek Chicken and Veggies Sheet Pan Dinner by Monica
My family loves this Greek Chicken dinner because it is delicious. I love it because a sheet pan dinner is fast and easy to prepare – and I can get other things ready while it’s in the oven. And a bonus: everyone can choose what they like from the pan– so I can please everyone with just this one dish!
Equipment
- 1 Sheet pan large/sturdy
- 3 Mixing Bowls 1 small for marinade, 1 to mix/coat chicken, 1 to mix/coat vegetables
Ingredients
- ½ cup Bacon Up heated for about one minute
- 1 lemon, juiced about 3 tablespoons
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 6 chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
- 1 medium zucchini halved lengthwise and sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper chopped into 1-inch pieces
- ½ large red onion thinly sliced
- 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
- ½ cup kalamata olives pitted OPTIONAL
- 3/4 cup feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Whisk together the melted Bacon Up, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken thighs in a bowl, pour ⅔ of marinade over chicken and toss with hands, coating entirely. Allow chicken to marinate 10-15 minutes. Wash hands or remove and dispose of gloves, if used.
- While marinating the chicken, put the vegetables into a separate bowl, pour remaining marinade over vegetables and toss with hands, coating entirely.
- Spread the vegetables evenly across the sheet pan, then add the chicken thighs, distributing them evenly across the pan and ensuring everything is in a single layer.
- Bake for 30 minutes, remove from the oven to add the olives and feta cheese, then bake for another 10-15 minutes. The dinner is finished baking when the vegetables have softened and the chicken reaches 165°F internally.
- Before serving, garnish with the fresh parsley.

Notes
It's so easy to take any sheet pan dinner to the next level by using Bacon Up Bacon Grease in the place of any other cooking oil to get a richer, more complex layer of flavor.
