This Sheet Pan Greek Chicken and Potato Dinner, inspired by lemony Greek Potatoes, is sure to become a family favorite.

Are you ever in for a treat! This sheet pan meal has all of the flavors of Greek Lemon Potatoes. There are a couple of steps involved to make sure that all of the ingredients are roasted to perfection, but I can guarantee they are worth it.
Sheet Pan Dinners
This sheet pan dinner relies on the staggering method of sheet pan cooking. This just means that the ingredients go in at different times, very similar to my Sheet Pan Steak, Potatoes and Veg Dinner and Sheet Pan Shrimp Dinner with Tomatoes and Gnocchi. It takes a little more attention than an all-in-one like the Sheet Pan Sausage, Sweet Potato and Asparagus Dinner, but I’m sure you’ll love the results.
How to Make Sheet Pan Greek Chicken and Potato Dinner
The first step is to prep the chicken. This means that we are going to pat it dry and then season the chicken with the herb and spice mixture. Allow the thighs to rest at room temperature while the potatoes roast. This will allow enough time for the salt to both flavor the chicken and break down some of the proteins which will help to keep the meat tender. This falls within the 2 hour maximum time that the USDA suggests for safe food handling. But if you are immunocompromised or at all concerned, I advise that you put the chicken in the fridge for this time.
The potatoes get their distinct flavor and texture from a cooking broth flavored with lemon and olive oil. Make sure that you make the cooking broth mixture in a large bowl so all of the potatoes get a good coating.
The potatoes and broth are poured directly onto the rimmed baking sheet and roasted for 30 minutes.
Please be very careful when removing the sheet pan from the oven, as some of the cooking broth will still be in the bottom of the pan.
At this point, nestle the chicken in between the potatoes, returning the pan to the oven and roasting for another 20 minutes.
During the final cooking time, the tomatoes and green beans should be arranged around the chicken and roasted until they’re tender. Most of the cooking broth should have evaporated leaving the olive oil to crisp up the potatoes.
I find that another 15 minutes is sufficient. But you will want to use an instant read thermometer to ensure that the thighs reach 165˚F.
Sprinkle with a little crumbled feta and enjoy!
