Instructions
Preheat and Prep Pan
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Using a rimmed baking sheet is crucial to prevent any juices from spilling into your oven.
Mix the Marinade
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, juice of one lemon, balsamic vinegar, dried tarragon, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Coat Ingredients
Add the chicken thighs, sliced red onion, halved mini bell peppers, and halved baby potatoes to the bowl with the marinade. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated.
For a more intense flavor, you can let the chicken and vegetables marinate for 20-30 minutes before baking.
Arrange on Sheet Pan
Transfer the entire mixture from the bowl to the prepared baking sheet. Spread everything out in a single, even layer. Scatter the lemon slices over the vegetables, but try to keep the chicken skin exposed to ensure it gets crispy and brown.
Don't overcrowd the pan. If necessary, use two sheet pans to ensure everything roasts evenly instead of steaming.
Bake the Dish
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through and the potatoes should be tender.
Chicken is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Check the potatoes with a fork to ensure they are soft.
Garnish and Serve
Carefully remove the sheet pan from the oven. Garnish the dish by sprinkling the crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh parsley, and pitted kalamata olives over the top. Serve immediately.
If you're not a fan of olives, try substituting capers or chopped artichoke hearts.
