Baked Greek Chicken & Veggies Sheet Pan Dinner
Author: Tiffany
Recipe type: Main Dish
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
- salt and pepper to taste
- mediterranean seasoning (see note)
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped or sliced
- ½ cup kalamata olives, halved
- 1 medium onion, chopped or sliced
- 2 tablespoons capers
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste and about 3 teaspoons Mediterranean seasoning on both sides. (see note)
- Combine lemon sliced, red bell peppers, olives, onions, and capers in a bowl. Drizzle with oil and stir to coat. Sprinkle with remaining Mediterranean seasoning and stir to coat well.
- Arrange chicken, lemon slices, red bell peppers, olives, onions, and cappers on a large, greased baking sheet.
- Bake, uncovered, for 15–20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender. Top with cracked black pepper and fresh herbs (optional) and serve immediately.
Notes
-For the Mediterranean seasoning, you can use about 1½ tablespoons of your favorite store-bought or homemade Mediterranean seasoning, OR you can whip up your own by stiring together the following: 2 teaspoons dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon ground thyme, 1 teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
-I like to cook the chicken in a greased skillet over medium heat on the stove top for 1-2 minutes on each side. This is an optional step but I like the added color and the slightly crispier exterior on the chicken from browning in the pan this way before baking,
