Greek Sheet Pan Chicken
Sounds like something you want to try, am I right?
I love an easy meal. I REALLY love one with the fewest amount of dishes to wash! That’s exactly what this Greek chicken recipe is. One Pan!
It’s also the perfect dish for meal prep. This recipe serves 4, so think of all the lunches you can have ready to go at one time.
I like to knock two of them out at one time to make my week even easier.
How do you make a Sheet Pan Dinner?
The genius part of a sheet pan dinner is that you toss everything together in a marinade, spread it on a single pan, and bake it. Everything is done at the same time.
Think of all the different combinations of meats and veggies you can try.
This super easy greek chicken breast recipe uses a zesty marinade of lemon, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil.
Served with juicy tomatoes, buttery potatoes, and fluffy rice, you can add even more flavor with Kalamata olives and red onions.
Ingredients Needed
Chicken – I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. You can use bone-in with skin if you prefer but it will change the cooking time a little.
Tomatoes – I like to use Roma tomatoes. If you can’t find these, try cherry tomatoes or medium sized vine ripe ones.
Potatoes – The small Yukon Gold variety work the best. You won’t want something too large and the buttery flavor is perfect for this dish.
Greek Lemon Marinade – A simple combination of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, lemon zest, Greek seasoning, and parsley.
Seasonings – I prefer this homemade Greek seasoning blend, but feel free to use your favorite brand or combination of spices.

How to Make Baked Greek Chicken on a Sheet Pan
First: Combine the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken breasts to a zip top bag and add half the marinade. Seal and move to coat the chicken.
Add the halved potatoes to a separate zip top bag and add the remainder of the marinade. Seal and move to coat the potatoes.
Marinate the chicken and potatoes in the fridge for 30 minutes or overnight.
Second: Preheat oven to 425F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil (for easy cleanup) or you can spray with non-stick spray.
Arrange the chicken and potatoes on the baking sheet. Do not add excess marinade from the bags.
Halve the tomatoes lengthwise and place on baking sheet. Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining Greek seasoning.
Third: Bake until chicken is cooked through and registers 165°F in the thickest part, about 22–30 minutes.
Remove chicken to a plate and rest for 10 minutes. If veggies aren’t cooked to your liking, you can bake them more while the chicken rests.
Slice chicken and serve with veggies. Sprinkle with feta cheese, fresh ground black pepper, and parsley for garnish.
