A quick and flavorful Greek-inspired sheet pan dinner featuring crispy chicken thighs, roasted baby potatoes, and caramelized cherry tomatoes, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: crumbled feta cheese for garnish
  • Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to prepare the marinade.
  3. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and toss well to coat evenly. Let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes while you prep the veggies.
  4. Halve the baby potatoes and place them in another bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
  5. Arrange the potatoes on one side of a large rimmed baking sheet, spreading them out evenly.
  6. Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on the other side of the baking sheet. Pour any leftover marinade over the potatoes.
  7. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes.
  8. After 25 minutes, scatter the cherry tomatoes around the pan and return to the oven.
  9. Roast for another 15-20 minutes, until the chicken skin is golden and crisp and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C).
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  11. Optional: Sprinkle with crumbled feta and chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry before marinating for extra crispiness. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting. Flip potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning. Marinate chicken ahead of time for deeper flavor. If potatoes are not crispy enough, broil for 2-3 minutes watching carefully. Reheat leftovers in a 350°F oven to maintain crisp skin; avoid microwaving.
