Ingredients

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon dried tarragon

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

4 chicken thighs with skin

1 small red onion, sliced into petals

8 mini bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded

1 pound baby potatoes, halved

1 lemon, sliced

¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

8 pitted kalamata olives

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, tarragon, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Coat the ingredients: Add the chicken thighs, red onion, mini bell peppers, and baby potatoes to the marinade. Stir to coat everything evenly.

Transfer to the sheet pan: Spread the chicken and vegetables on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange lemon slices over the veggies and ensure the chicken skin stays exposed to allow it to brown.

Bake: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) internally and the potatoes are tender.

Finish and serve: Remove from the oven and top with crumbled feta cheese, fresh parsley, and kalamata olives. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Chicken alternative: Swap chicken thighs for chicken breasts or drumsticks. Adjust cooking time as needed.

Extra veggies: Add zucchini, eggplant, or cherry tomatoes for more Mediterranean flair.

Vegan version: Replace the chicken with chickpeas or tofu and adjust cooking time accordingly.
