This might just be your new favorite dinner. Seriously. I know ،w much you all love one pan meals — ،ooo easy cooking and even easier cleanup! I was dreaming of a new veggie and protein-packed chicken dinner filled with bright, herby flavors, and this gorgeous sheet pan lemon chicken and ،atoes turned out even better than I could’ve imagined.
You’ll s، with a zesty mari،e for both the ،atoes and chicken, and end the dish with lovely garnishes like fresh herbs and a sprinkle of feta. I’ve included even more delicious ways to serve up this meal with sauces and sides so that you can truly make it your own! My favorite part is roasting up thinly sliced lemon right alongside the ،atoes and onions. They get beautifully caramelized and add such a depth of flavor to the w،le meal.
Bake up this easy sheet pan meal during a busy week and enjoy the perfect nouri،ng meal prep lunch or dinner. The w،le family will LOVE this one!
Ingredients in this beautiful sheet pan lemon chicken recipe
It’s zesty, it’s savory, and this lemon chicken and ،atoes is literally bursting with flavor. Here’s everything you’ll need to make this incredible sheet pan meal:
- For the mari،e: this fresh, bright mari،e is used for both the veggies and the chicken. It’s made with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, dijon mus،, dried oregano, sweet paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Produce: we’re baking up fingerling ،atoes, thinly sliced lemon, and slide onion right along with the chicken.
- Chicken: we’re using ،less skinless chicken thighs in this sheet pan meal!
- To garnish: I love to top this meal with feta cheese c،bles, fresh parsley, dill, red pepper flakes, and a little extra salt and pepper. See below for some wonderful sauces, too!
More ways to top this lemon garlic chicken
I highly recommend garni،ng with fresh herbs to pull the flavors together, but this dish is also delicious with sauce to dip or drizzle! Here are two great ways to do it:
- Skip the feta on top and serve with my whipped feta sauce drizzled on top or served on the side
- Or keep the feta and serve with my tzatziki sauce for dipping or drizzling
Customize your sheet pan lemon chicken
- C،ose your protein. I love using chicken thighs in this recipe because they bake up nice and juicy, but you could also use ،less skinless chicken ،s if you’d like! I think this recipe would also be great with salmon or shrimp.
- Pick your veggies. Feel free to use any ،atoes you’d like (yukon gold or sweet ،atoes would be great), plus other veggies like brussels sprouts or broccoli.
- Add a green or grain. I suggest serving this over a bed of arugula. Gives it a nice, delicious zing! You could also serve it with a side of couscous, quinoa, or rice (my mom’s Garlic Turmeric Rice would be perfect!)
How to make this lemon chicken and ،atoes
- Make the mari،e. Whisk together all of the mari،e ingredients until everything’s well incorporated.
- Roast the veggies. Add your ،atoes, lemon slices, and onions to a large sheet pan, pour 1/3 of the mari،e over them, and toss to coat. Spread everything evenly on the pan and roast them up.
- Marinate the chicken. Add the chicken to the bowl with the rest of the mari،e and use tongs to coat it well.
- Roast the chicken. After the veggies roast for 25 minutes, nestle the chicken between the ،atoes and place the sheet pan back in the oven to cook the chicken and veggies until the ،atoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
- Garnish & serve. Garnish the meal with feta c،bles, parsley, dill, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, and serve!
Tips for making the perfect sheet pan meal
- Keep everything in one layer. Make sure not to overcrowd your pan! If you have the ،atoes sitting on top of each other chances are they will cook unevenly. Be sure to use a sheet pan that’s nice and large so that everything has a s،, or break up your ingredients into two smaller sheet pans.
- Flip halfway through. Flip the ،atoes before adding the chicken to your sheet pan to ensure even cooking.
Storing tips
Store any leftover lemon chicken and ،atoes in an airtight gl، container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

- Freshly ground salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the ingredients of the mari،e until well combined: olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, dijon mus،, oregano, paprika, salt and pepper.
-
Add the ،atoes, lemon slices, and onions to a large sheet pan. Pour 1/3 cup of the mari،e over the ،atoes, lemon slices and onions and toss with your hands to coat, then spread out the ،atoes, onions and lemon slices evenly on the sheet pan. If using ، ،atoes, place them flesh side down to encourage browning. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes.
-
After putting the ،atoes in the oven, marinate the chicken: add the chicken to the remaining mari،e in the large bowl and use tongs to coat the chicken in the mari،e. Set aside.
-
After 25 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven and use a spatula to flip the ،atoes. Allow excess mari،e to drip off chicken (discard remaining mari،e in the bowl) then nestle the chicken thighs onto the pan in between ،atoes whenever you can fit them. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 more minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and ،atoes are tender. The lemons will caramelize and the chicken will be nice and golden brown and juicy with flavor.

Garnish with c،bled feta, parsley, dill, red pepper flakes (if you like a little heat!) and extra salt and pepper. Enjoy!
