For the Greek Chicken Marinade:
- Lemon Juice: Adds tang and brightness; helps tenderize the chicken. Substitute with lime juice or white wine vinegar if needed.
- Olive Oil: Adds richness and healthy fats. Use extra-virgin olive oil if possible; avocado oil works in a pinch.
- Garlic: Fresh garlic brings bold flavor. Garlic powder can be used as a backup.
- Dried Oregano: Gives the marinade its signature Greek flavor. Use 3 times the amount if using fresh oregano.
- Dijon Mustard: Adds a zesty boost and deepens the flavor. Stone-ground or yellow mustard can work too.
- Kosher Salt: Enhances flavor. If using table salt, use half the amount.
- Black Pepper: Provides a touch of heat.
For the Sheet Pan:
- Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast: The main protein. Chicken thighs can be used for a richer flavor. Use leftovers in recipes like Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Nuggets, or Jerk Chicken.
- Zucchini: Brings a mild, earthy taste. Swap with summer squash or more bell peppers.
Extra zucchini? Try Zucchini Bread, Roasted Vegetable Salad, or a Vegetable Casserole. - Yellow Bell Pepper: Adds sweetness and color. Any bell pepper works.
Use extras in Ratatouille or Baked Penne with Roasted Vegetables. - Red Onion: Adds sharpness and vibrant color. White or yellow onions are milder substitutes. Leftovers can be used in Pickled Onions or in Chicken Caprese.
- Cherry or Grape Tomatoes: Juicy and sweet. Roma tomatoes also work—just quarter them. Add extras to a Southwest Wrap or use them in Chicken Margherita.
- Kalamata Olives: Bring salty, briny depth. Black or green olives can be used instead.
Great in Mediterranean Chicken, Roasted Broccolini, and in a Greek Salad. - Feta Cheese: Adds a creamy, tangy finish. Goat cheese is a milder option.
Use leftovers in Mediterranean Quinoa Salad or Roasted Garlic, Olives, and Feta. - Chopped Parsley: Fresh and vibrant. Sub with basil or a pinch of dried herbs if needed.
Use leftover parsley in Tabbouleh.
Recipe Variations
Looking to switch things up? These simple variations let you adapt the dish based on what you have or your dietary preferences.
- Vegan Option: Use firm tofu or tempeh instead of chicken. Swap in plant-based feta for a fully vegan meal.
- Add Heat: Toss in sliced jalapeños with the vegetables for a spicy kick.
- Seafood Swap: Use shrimp or chunks of cod or halibut instead of chicken. Keep in mind that seafood cooks faster—adjust the time as needed.
- Lemon Herb Version: Add lemon slices and sprinkle fresh thyme or rosemary over the vegetables for extra citrusy, herby flavor.
How To Make Sheet Pan Greek Chicken
These step-by-step photos and instructions help you visualize how to make Greek chicken for one person. See the recipe box below for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions.
- Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make the marinade (about 1/3 cup).
- Roast the Vegetables: Spread the zucchini, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and cherry or grape tomatoes on a sheet pan. Drizzle with half the marinade and toss to coat. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Marinate the Chicken: While the vegetables are roasting, place the chicken breast slices in a separate bowl. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken and toss to coat. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Add Chicken to the Sheet Pan: After the vegetables have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Add the marinated chicken to the pan, arranging the pieces around the vegetables.
- Bake the Chicken and Vegetables: Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Add Olives and Feta: Remove the pan from the oven. Scatter the kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese over the top. Bake for an additional 5–8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

I loved this, made it tonight for dinner. Super easy very light. Served it over a lemon rice with onnon and garlic and grilled a pita bread with butter. Next time I will split the olives, as they were a bit to strong whole for my taste.
I have made this now 3 times in 2 weeks. I imagine that is enough to say that I love it. I served it the last 2 times on Greek pita that I softened up in the air fryer. I did split the olives and prefer it that way,
Made this last night and it was yummy with a Greek cucumber and tomato salad, tzatziki, and garlic dill brown rice. Doubled the portions for hubby and me. So I’m looking forward to leftovers today.
I opted to use frozen grilled veggies, but they produced way too much water even at 425° and close to the heating element. Next time I substitute frozen veggies, I’ll cook them over super high heat on the stovetop.
In the meantime, I’m looking forward to trying this recipe again when I have time to purchase and prep fresh veggies. I’m certain that would be way better.
Making this for Sunday dinner, but using thighs instead of breasts. Does this change the cooking time?
Chicken thighs and chicken breasts usually have similar cooking times, but it’s a good idea to check the thighs around the 8-minute mark just to be sure.
