Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Zest the lemon, then squeeze the juice. Combine the olive oil, lemon juice (about 1/4 cup), garlic, oregano, salt, and some freshly cracked pepper in a bowl. Save the lemon zest for later.
- Chop the bell peppers and onions into 1 to 1.5-inch pieces. Place the tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions on a large baking sheet. Pour about half of the lemon garlic marinade over the vegetables and toss until they are well coated. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes as you prepare the chicken.
- While the vegetables begin roasting, prepare the chicken breasts. If your chicken breasts are thicker than 3/4-inch, pound them out to an even thickness of 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick. This will help them cook quickly and evenly. To pound the chicken, place them on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap to prevent splatter, then gently pound the thicker ends with a rolling pin or mallet until even with the thinner end.
- Cut each chicken breast into two pieces. Place the chicken in a shallow dish and pour the remaining marinade over top. Toss the chicken in the marinade to coat.
- After roasting for ten minutes, remove the baking sheet with the vegetables from the oven. Stir the vegetables well, then push them off to each side making room for the chicken in the center. Place the chicken pieces on the baking sheet.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake the chicken and vegetables for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165ºF. For additional browning, switch the oven to broil and finish by broiling the chicken and vegetables for about 5 minutes.
- Slice the olives in half. Sprinkle the olives, feta, lemon zest, and parsley over the chicken and vegetables after roasting, then serve (with rice, if desired).

SHEET PAN GREEK CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES
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.

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.
