This juicy and flavorful Greek Sheet Pan Chicken is marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, then roasted until golden perfection. A one-pan Mediterranean dinner that’s healthy, easy to make, and perfect for meal prep or weeknight dinners.

  • Total Time: 1 hour (plus marination)
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

  • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano

  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme

  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken
Place chicken thighs in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours (or up to 8 hours for more flavor).

Step 3: Prepare to Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Arrange chicken thighs on a sheet pan or baking dish. Pour any leftover marinade over the top.

Step 4: Bake the Chicken
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 175°F (80°C). For crispier skin, turn on the broiler during the last 2–3 minutes of cooking.

Step 5: Rest and Serve
Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon pan juices over the top and garnish with lemon slices or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easier cleanup.

  • Add vegetables (potatoes, bell peppers, red onion) to the pan for a full meal.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
