Sheet Pan Greek Chicken

Step 1

Stir the finely grated zest of 2 medium lemons, 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper together in a large bowl.

Step 2

Pat 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Use your fingers to gently loosen and pull the skin away from the meat without removing it. Add to the bowl and rub all over with the lemon mixture, working it gently under the skin. Let sit and marinate at room temperature while you heat the oven and prepare the vegetables.

Step 3

Heat the oven to 425℉.

Step 4

Toss 12 ounces thinly sliced small Yukon Gold potatoes, 2 cups grape tomatoes, 1 sliced medium red onion, 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese, 1/2 cup pitted olives if using, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper together on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange into an even layer.

Step 5

Nestle the chicken skin-side up into the vegetables. Roast until the chicken registers at least 165ºF on an instant-read thermometer and the potatoes are tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Garnish with finely chopped fresh dill if desired.
