Ingredients for Sheet Pan Greek Chicken with Lemon and Artichokes

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this flavor-packed dish:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total)
1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
1 lemon, thinly sliced (seeds removed)
2 tbsp olive oil – the good stuff!
1 tsp dried oregano (or 1 tbsp fresh)
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt (I use kosher)
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (for topping)
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

No artichokes? Try kalamata olives instead! Out of fresh parsley? Dried works in a pinch (use 2 tsp). For dairy-free, skip the feta – the dish still tastes amazing. Chicken thighs work great too – just add 5 minutes to the cooking time.

How to Make Sheet Pan Greek Chicken with Lemon and Artichokes

Okay, here’s the beautiful simplicity of this recipe – it’s practically foolproof! Just follow these easy steps:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures everything cooks evenly right from the start.
Toss the chicken, artichokes and lemon slices with olive oil and all the seasonings in a big bowl. Get your hands in there – the best way to coat everything evenly!
Arrange everything on your sheet pan in a single layer. No stacking! We want that golden-brown caramelization on every piece.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally. Don’t guess – use that meat thermometer!
Sprinkle with feta and fresh parsley right before serving. The heat will slightly soften the cheese – heavenly!

Pro Tips for Perfect Results

Pat the chicken dry first for better browning. Leave space between pieces – overcrowding steams instead of roasts. Add lemon slices halfway if you want them extra golden!

Serving Suggestions for Sheet Pan Greek Chicken

Oh, you’ve got options! My favorite way? Serve this Greek chicken over fluffy lemon rice with warm pita wedges for scooping up the juices. A simple Greek salad on the side makes it a complete Mediterranean feast. For extra oomph, drizzle with tzatziki or a quick lemon-garlic yogurt sauce – trust me, it’s magical!

Storage & Reheating Instructions

Leftovers? Lucky you! Store this Greek chicken in an airtight container for up to 3 days. When reheating, pop it in a 350°F oven until warmed through – about 10 minutes does the trick. The artichokes and lemon slices get even more flavorful as they sit, making this one of those rare dishes that might taste better the next day!
