Why you'll love this recipe!

⏱️ Quick and easy: This meal is ready in about 40 minutes and everything cooks on one pan, which means minimal cleanup. Yay!

🥦 Great for healthy diets: This dish is high in protein and full of Mediterranean flavor. It is packed with fresh vegetables, naturally gluten free, and perfect for the whole family.

🍴 Fully customizable: Feel free to swap in vegetables you love. Sweet potatoes, pumpkin, or red onion all work well. You can also use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts if you prefer.

Who does not love minimal cleanup when cooking dinner? As a busy mom of three, I really appreciate recipes that are simple but still full of flavor. Sheet pan dinners are one of my favorite ways to cook because everything goes into the oven at the same time.

This recipe is inspired by the Mediterranean way of eating, which focuses on fresh ingredients, olive oil, herbs, and plenty of vegetables. The chicken comes out tender and juicy, which matters a lot in my house because my husband is always complaining when chicken turns out dry and hard to swallow 🤭.

The vegetables roast beautifully and soak up all those delicious Mediterranean flavors, just like in my Mediterranean Oven Roasted Branzini. Yum! If you want to add even more vegetables to your meal, you can pair this dish with my Cheesy Eggplant with Tomato Sauce or serve it alongside my Spinach Orzo Salad with Feta.

Mediterranean Sheet Pan Chicken and Vegetables, Ingredients.

Medieterranean Sheet Pan Chicken and Vegetable Ingredients

  • Chicken: Boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs work great in this recipe. Both options provide plenty of protein and cook well in the oven.
  • Olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil adds healthy fats and helps the chicken and vegetables roast beautifully.
  • Garlic: Fresh garlic adds a lot of flavor and pairs perfectly with Mediterranean herbs.
  • Dried oregano and thyme: These herbs bring classic Mediterranean flavor to the dish.
  • Paprika: Adds warmth and depth to the seasoning.
  • Vegetables: I used potatoes, carrots, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, onion, and parsnips. These vegetables roast quickly and taste delicious with chicken.
  • Lemon juice: A squeeze of fresh lemon brightens the entire dish.
  • Optional toppings: Fresh parsley, feta cheese, or olives add extra Mediterranean flavor.

How to Make Mediterranean Sheet Pan Chicken and Vegetables

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2: Slice the chicken into thin pieces. Chop the zucchini, potatoes, carrots, and parsnips into small bite size pieces. Slice the onion into half moon shapes.

Step 3: Arrange the chicken and vegetables evenly on a large sheet pan.

Step 4: In a small bowl prepare the marinade. Add olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 5: Pour the marinade over the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything gently to coat.

Step 6: Spread everything into an even layer on the sheet pan so the vegetables roast nicely.

Step 7: Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and lightly roasted. Serve warm and enjoy.

Nena's Pro tip

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Slice the chicken into thin pieces. Cut the zucchini, potatoes, carrots, and parsnips into small bite size pieces. Slice the onion into half moon shapes.
  • Arrange the chicken and vegetables on a large sheet pan.
  • In a small bowl mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Notes
