Ingredients
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
- 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
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- 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.
- Nestle the chicken in with the veggies and pour marinade over the chicken, covering both sides. Nestle in the lemon wheels.
- 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.
- 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.
