Ingredients

Units

MARINADE INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup feta
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 lemon (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons parsley (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon dill (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon oregano (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sumac

SHEET PAN INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb. baby potatoes (chopped in 1/2" cubes)
  • 1 1/2 cups bell peppers (thinly sliced or chopped)
  • 1 cup cherry tomoates
  • 1/2 large red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1-2 lemons (sliced in 3 thick rounds)
  • 1/2 cup feta (-cut into 1/4" - 1/2" cubes)

Instructions

MARINADE

  1. In a liquid measuring cup combine olive oil, crumbled feta, garlic, lemon juice, herbs, salt, pepper and sumac. Stir to combine and set aside.

SHEET PAN

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine chopped potatoes, peppers, tomatoes and onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper then stir to combine. Spread everything into an even layer.
  3. Nestle the chicken in with the veggies and pour marinade over the chicken, covering both sides. Nestle in the lemon wheels.
  4. Bake for 35-40-ish minutes (rotating the pan halfway through the bake time) until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are golden. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the chicken registers 165° F. During the last 10 minutes of the bake, add the feta cubes so they warm up but don't melt.
  5. To serve, squeeze the lemons over the whole sheet and top with a punch of freshly chopped herbs and salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

There will be a good amount of juices from the tomatoes and lemons but don't worry, they will thicken and help keep that chicken juicy. And you can always sop it up with a hearty hunk of bread!

Cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts. Adjust accordingly.
