Make the marinade: In a small mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, dried oregano, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Set the bowl aside.
Prepare the vegetables: Arrange the zucchini, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes on a sheet pan. Drizzle them with half of the freshly made marinade and toss to coat. Bake for 15 minutes.
Marinate the chicken: As the vegetables are getting their initial roast, place the chicken breast slices in a different bowl and pour the remaining marinade over the chicken. Make sure each piece is well coated and let this sit for about 10 minutes.
Add the chicken to the pan: Once the vegetables have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Arrange the marinated chicken around the vegetables on the same sheet pan.
Bake the chicken and vegetables together: Put the sheet pan back in the oven and let the chicken and vegetables bake for another 10 minutes.
Add the final touches: Take the sheet pan out of the oven once more. Scatter the kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese over the top. Place it back in the oven for an additional 5-8 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once everything is cooked to perfection, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle it with freshly chopped parsley.

Expert Tips
Before you start cooking, make sure to read the entire recipe, including the Ingredient Notes section, and examine the process photos. This detailed guide will help you understand how the recipe unfolds, ensuring your Greek Chicken turns out perfect every time. All the information you need is found within the body of this recipe post, so don't miss a thing!
Veggie Uniformity: For even roasting, make sure to cut your vegetables into similarly sized pieces. This ensures that everything cooks evenly and you're not left with some pieces that are underdone while others are overcooked.
Oven Positioning: Place your oven rack in the middle before preheating. This allows for even heat distribution during the cooking process, helping both the chicken and vegetables to roast to perfection.
Temperature Check: Always check the internal temperature of your chicken to make sure it reaches 165°F (74°C). An instant-read thermometer is a quick and accurate way to do this.
Feta Alternatives: If you're not a fan of feta, you can substitute it with cubes of mozzarella or even dollops of goat cheese for a different yet equally delicious flavor profile.
