Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, potatoes, bell peppers, red onion, olive oil, and minced garlic. Toss until everything is beautifully coated. (5 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Transfer the mixture to a large sheet pan, ensuring it's spread in a single layer for even cooking. (2 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Squeeze the juice from the lemon wedges over the chicken and vegetables, then nestle the spent lemon wedges amongst the ingredients on the sheet pan. (2 minutes)

05

Step
1 mins

Sprinkle the dried oregano generously over the dish. Season with freshly cracked salt and pepper to your liking. Scatter the Kalamata olives evenly across the pan. (3 minutes)

06

Step
1 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the chicken is cooked through, with no pink remaining in the center. The juices should run clear. This should take approximately 25 minutes. For perfectly cooked chicken, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the sheet pan, such as zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or artichoke hearts.
Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or tzatziki sauce for a cool and creamy finish.

    The lemon and oregano make this dish so flavorful. Definitely a keeper.

    My potatoes didn't get as crispy as I'd hoped. Next time I'll try parboiling them first.
