SHEET PAN GREEK CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES



Sheet Pan Greek Chicken and Vegetables image

Fresh oregano and lemon add bold flavor to chicken thighs, while a high oven temperature creates extra-crispy skin. If you don't have a heavy-duty sheet pan that can withstand the heat of the stovetop, scrape the pan drippings into a skillet and use it to make the pan sauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano, plus extra sprigs for garnish
2 lemons, zested and halved
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut lengthwise into 1-inch wedges
1 pound large carrots, quartered and cut into 3-inch sticks

Steps:

  • Position 2 oven racks on the highest and lowest settings and place a heavy-duty rimmed half-sheet pan on the bottom rack. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the oregano, the zest of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some black pepper. Place the chicken skin-side up in the center of the heated baking sheet and return to the oven while you prepare the vegetables.
  • In a second bowl, toss the potatoes and carrots with 2 tablespoons of the oil, the lemon halves, the remaining lemon zest the remaining 2 tablespoons oregano,1 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Spread the vegetables and lemons (cut-side up) around the chicken on the sheet pan and roast on the bottom oven rack for 10 minutes. Move the sheet pan to the top rack and roast until the vegetables are tender and the chicken skin is crispy and the meat registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 20 minutes more. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a serving platter and keep warm. Remove the lemon halves to a cutting board to cool for a minute.
  • Set the sheet pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat and bring the pan juices to a boil. Squeeze in the lemon juice, reduce the heat to a simmer and whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Scrape up the crusty bits from the bottom of the sheet pan with a wooden spoon to incorporate into the sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the juices over the vegetables, garnish with oregano sprigs and serve.

OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES IN FOIL



Oven-Baked Chicken and Vegetables in Foil image

To make your evening meal go faster, prep these chicken and vegetable packets early in the day and refrigerate until it's time to pop in the oven. This cooking time will yield nicely done chicken and vegetables with a little texture. If you prefer your vegetables softer, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, and cook about 15 minutes longer. For the summer, this recipe will also adapt to the grill-just be sure to use a grill thermostat for best results.

Categories     Baked Chicken Breasts

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

heavy duty aluminum foil
3 (5 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Cut an 18-inch wide roll of heavy-duty aluminum foil into six 12-inch long pieces.

  • Combine olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add sliced carrots, parsnip, red bell peppers, and mushrooms. Stir to combine vegetables with the seasoned oil. Set an even amount of vegetables on top of each piece of chicken.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, cut vegetables into uniform sizes and place them around the chicken. This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming overdone while others remain undercooked.
  • If you're using a flavorful marinade for your chicken, consider using some of it to season the vegetables as well. This will help infuse them with extra flavor and make them even more delicious.
  • To prevent the foil packet from tearing during cooking, fold the edges tightly and seal them securely. This will help keep the juices inside the packet and prevent them from spilling out.
  • When cooking the foil packets on the grill, place them over medium heat and cook for the recommended amount of time. Avoid cooking them over high heat, as this could cause the foil to burn and the food inside to overcook.
  • To check if the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. The internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.

Conclusion:

Greek chicken and vegetables in foil is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the vegetables are tender and roasted, and the lemon-herb marinade adds a bright and tangy flavor to the dish. Plus, the foil packet cooking method makes cleanup a breeze. Give this recipe a try the next time you're looking for a simple and delicious meal that the whole family will enjoy.
