How To Make Greek Chicken Thighs
Ingredients needed
- Bone-in chicken thighs
- Cherry tomatoes
- Red onion
- Crumbled feta cheese
- Orange bell pepper
- Kalmata olives
- Marinade (ingredients listed below)
Making the Greek chicken thigh on a sheet pan
- To start, mix together the marinade then use half to cover the chicken thighs. Set the rest to the side for later. Allow the thighs to marinate for 1-4 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- While the oven is heating prep the veggies. In a sheet pan, lay out the chicken first then place the sliced veggies around the chicken thighs.
- Next, pour the remaining marinade across the top of everything. Place in the oven for 45 minutes to allow the chicken to cook through. The skin should get crispy on the chicken but this can vary depending on how much steam the veggies are creating in the oven. Some vegetables hold more water than others.
- After the chicken is done remove the pan. When plating the chicken and veggies, top with crumbled feta cheese.
