Notes
For an extra burst of flavor, consider marinating the chicken thighs in the lemon-garlic mixture for several hours or overnight in the refrigerator. This deepens the flavors and tenderizes the chicken, resulting in an even more delicious dish.
If you're sensitive to salt, be mindful of the saltiness of the olives and feta cheese when seasoning your chicken and vegetables. You may want to adjust the amount of added salt accordingly.
To achieve a slightly charred and crispy finish on the vegetables, consider broiling the sheet pan for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking time. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
This recipe is adaptable to various dietary needs. For a gluten-free option, ensure all your ingredients, including spices and feta cheese, are certified gluten-free. For a dairy-free version, omit the feta cheese or use a dairy-free cheese alternative that can withstand the heat without melting away.
I recommend using a heavy-duty, non-stick sheet pan or lining your pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup. This prevents sticking and ensures your chicken and vegetables roast perfectly without burning onto the pan.
For those who love a bit of spice, adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix can introduce a warm, spicy element to the dish, complementing the tangy and savory flavors beautifully.
