Sheet Pan Greek Chicken Meal

Step 1

Mix olive oil, lemon juice, Greek Seasoning (affiliate link) Spike Seasoning (affiliate link), and dried thyme (affiliate link) to make the marinade.

Step 2

Set aside 1/4 cup of marinade to brush on the dish later when you've added the beans.

Step 3

Trim chicken thighs, cutting away extra skin and fat as much as you prefer. (I use kitchen shears (affiliate link) to trim) Cut small slits through the skin on the top of each thigh.

Step 4

Put chicken thighs into a Ziploc bag with the rest of the marinade and let it marinate 4-8 hours, or all day while you're at work is even better.

Step 5

When it's time to cook, drain the chicken into a colander placed in the sink and let it come to room temperature. (This is important or the chicken will take too long to cook for the timing of this recipe.)

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 425F/220C while the chicken comes to room temperature.

Step 7

When you're ready, put chicken thighs on a large sheet pan and roast for 8 minutes.

Step 8

While chicken cooks, trim the ends of the green beans and cut them in half. (I do this by grabbing a handful and standing them up against the cutting board. Trim that end of the beans, then turn beans over and stand up the other side and trim.)

Step 9

Cut cherry tomatoes in half.

Step 10

After 8 minutes remove sheet pan from the oven and use paper towels to blot any water that's released from the chicken. (This will depend on the chicken you use, less expensive chicken will be more watery.)

Step 11

Add the green beans to the sheet pan and brush chicken and beans with the reserved marinade. Season with with fresh-ground black pepper and a little salt (remember the Feta Cheese is salty.)

Step 12

Roast for 14 minutes more.

Step 13

After 14 minutes (or when the chicken is starting to brown a bit and seems nearly done) tuck the cherry tomatoes halves around the chicken and green beans (try to keep ingredients in a single layer as much as you can.)

Step 14

Cook about 6 minutes more, or until chicken and green beans are done.

Step 15

Sprinkle with Feta cheese and serve hot.
