A simple recipe for tender baked chicken marinated with lemon, garlic, and oregano, cooked on a sheet pan with vegetables for an easy weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 lb small potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  2. Place the chicken in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is coated. Reserve the remaining marinade.
  3. Refrigerate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Toss the potatoes, onion wedges, and bell pepper chunks with the reserved marinade on the baking sheet. Spread them into a single layer.
  6. Place the marinated chicken pieces among the vegetables on the sheet pan.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes.
  8. Add the cherry tomatoes to the pan. Continue baking for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) and the potatoes are tender.
  9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving directly from the pan.

Notes

  • For crispier potatoes, toss them with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil separately before adding the marinade.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts; thighs may require 5-10 minutes longer cooking time.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store chicken and vegetables separately for best texture.
