Ingredients
  

Chicken & Veggies
  • cut into bite-sized pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts thighs recommended for juiciness

  • 1 medium Red Onion sliced into wedges
  • 1 medium Zucchini cut into half-moons or chunks
  • 1 pint (about 2 cups) Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata Olives pitted
  • 1/2 cup (or more, to taste) Feta Cheese crumbled
Seasoning & Dressing
  • 3-4 tablespoons Olive Oil extra virgin
  • 1-2 teaspoons Dried Oregano or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder or 2-3 minced fresh garlic cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper or to taste
  • Fresh Lemon Juice Optional, for serving

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Large sheet pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Large bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini.
Cooking
  1. Drizzle the chicken and vegetables with olive oil, then add dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well coated.
  2. Spread the mixture evenly in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan and roast for 20 minutes.
  3. Remove the pan from the oven, add the cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives, and gently toss.
  4. Return to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
  6. Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes, just until the feta is warmed through and slightly soft.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice is recommended for a burst of freshness.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil and spices for at least 30 minutes before roasting. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or potatoes for more variety.
