Description

This Sheet-Pan Chicken Souvlaki brings classic Greek flavors to the oven with marinated chicken, spiced chickpeas, and a fresh tomato-olive-feta salad. Everything roasts together on one pan, making this a flavorful and easy weeknight meal.


Ingredients

3 garlic cloves, finely grated

1 tbsp dried oregano

1 tsp sugar

⅓ cup + 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

lb skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 2” pieces

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, plus wedges for serving

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1½ cups mixed cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

½ cup pitted Kalamata olives

100 g feta, thinly sliced

¼ cup parsley leaves with tender stems

4 pita breads

Skewers (bamboo or metal; soak bamboo for 30 min)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, mix garlic, oregano, sugar, ⅓ cup olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. On a rimmed baking sheet, spread chickpeas. Sprinkle with cumin and paprika, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, and toss to coat.
  3. Add lemon juice to chicken, toss again, then thread onto skewers. Place skewers over chickpeas on the baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 6–8 minutes until chicken is just opaque. Switch oven to broil and cook 5 minutes more until chicken is browned. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.
  5. In a bowl, toss onion, tomatoes, and olives with a splash of olive oil, lemon juice, and salt.
  6. Scatter tomato salad over roasted chicken and chickpeas. Top with feta slices and parsley.
  7. Serve with warm pita bread and lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts; adjust cooking time to prevent dryness.
  • Replace chickpeas with chopped zucchini or bell peppers for a lighter option.
  • Add tzatziki or extra lemon juice for a refreshing finish.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for 3–4 days; reheat in a low oven or skillet.
  • Salad components are best added fresh after reheating.
