Kitchen tools needed to make Greek sheet pan chicken thighs

You only need a few basic tools to prepare this one-pan dinner:

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Sheet pan
  • Measuring spoons and cups

How to make Greek sheet pan chicken thighs

This recipe takes roughly 10–20 minutes of hands-on prep and about 35 minutes in the oven.

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.

3. Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and pour half of the marinade over them, tossing to coat.

4. Arrange the diced zucchinis, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes on a sheet pan. Pour the remaining marinade over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.

5. Nestle the marinated chicken thighs among the vegetables on the sheet pan; a slight overlap is fine.

6. Bake for 15 minutes, then scatter the feta, kalamata olives, and chopped parsley over the top. Return to the oven and bake another 15–20 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

7. Remove from the oven and let rest for about 10 minutes before serving to let juices redistribute.
