Sheet Pan Mediterranean Chicken & Zucchini Recipe


  • Author: I
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 medium zucchinis (sliced into rounds)
  • 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 red onion (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives (pitted and halved)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese (crumbled, for topping)
  • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish, optional)

 


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).

Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables

  1. On a large sheet pan, arrange the sliced zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

Step 4: Roast

  1. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the sheet pan with the vegetables.
  2. Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the vegetables are tender.

Step 5: Add Olives and Feta

  1. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese over the chicken and vegetables. Return to the oven to warm through.

Step 6: Serve

  1. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
